Summary:

Megan Faragher explores the influence that public opinion polling, and the developing idea of a public consciousness in the British mid-century, had upon the literature of the period. She traces the emergence and growing dominance of public opinion research in cultural and governmental bodies, and the ways in which it came to be aestheticized by British writers.
