  Charles Madge's Imminences
Madge wrote in the early 1930s of his desire to be caught up in the irresistible current of the new, which he saw both in the dynamism of America and the even more irresistible dynamism of Russia, which, he wrote in 1936, America shadowed.
Madge’s poetry travels between the two perspectives signified in his ‘Philosophic Poem’, of ‘workaday things and a white rising planet’: the world of historical, human time, in which the pain of choice and change is pressing and a natural or elemental time in which change is so generalised as to be numbly self-annulling.
Madge, who had been in at the beginning the most insistent in his promises that Mass Observation would be the agency of a new and definitive form of mass consciousness, soon found an opportunity of mitigating his claims.

 University of Sussex Library Special Collections: Charles Madge Archive
Although Charles Madge worked successfully as both a poet and a sociologist, there was little congruence between the two in his life and any early promise in the former was soon eclipsed by the demands of the latter.
Madge’s development as a poet is amply revealed in his notebooks and in numerous files of verse dating from as early as 1920.
Madge held the first chair of sociology at the University of Birmingham from 1950 until his retirement in 1970, despite his lack of academic training and personal doubts about the validity of the discipline.

 Spender's Worktown - Charles Madge
Madge was an English poet, a one time journalist for the Daily Mirror and Sociologist.
It was Madge's letter to the New Statesman in 1936 that inspired Tom Harrisson to contact the Blackheath group and start the Mass-Observation.
Madge's poetry was associated with the surrealist movement which incorporated ideas about popular culture being as valid as high art.

However, in November 1938 Charles Madge and Tom Harrisson changed organisational places, with Madge then directing in Bolton a project concerned with 'the economics of everyday life'.
When Charles Madge went to Bolton to co-ordinate the economics of everyday life research, Harrisson had already recruited to it two researchers with a good deal of mainstream research experience.
Madge, Wagner and Chapman were later joined by Geoffrey Thompson (who during the war worked in the government's Wartime Social Survey and after it became the director of its reincarnation as the Government Social Survey), Alec Hughes, Jack Cornforth and a floating group of other researchers.

Madge handled the loose-knit network of volunteer observers that served as backbone for May the Twelfth, and Jennings is usually credited with giving the book what has been called its collage-like structure by cutting and pasting together press clippings and observers' reports.
Madge's "network of Observers," later to be known as the National Panel, began with 420 respondents to the call published in the New Statesman in 1937, and never grew much beyond this number.
Charles Madge's National Panel was motivated by a different sense of anthropology, governed by metaphors of space and motion complementary to those I have described.

 Jacket 20 - Rod Mengham - Bourgeois News: Humphrey Jennings and Charles Madge
It explores first how the experimental methods employed by Madge and Jennings in their poetic writings may be related to the example of French surrealism; then it considers how this relationship may bear on the subsequent development of both Mass-Observation and a certain style of documentary film-making.
Jennings’s concern (shared later by Madge) for the cultural object, in existing texts, and in social reality, makes their work at once both intensely English—because it is an English social reality that they are closing with—and more closely connected with a modernist poetics than the majority of their surrealist colleagues.
The role of the artist-observer (analogous to Madge’s notion of the ‘poet- reporter’) is an extremely active one.

 Humphrey Jennings - Observing the masses
The abdication crisis of 1936, during which Edward gave up the throne to marry the American divorcee Wallis Simpson, was a shock for left-wing intellectuals because it revealed the powerful hold that the monarchy still had on ordinary people's affections.
As left-wingers debated their ignorance of the 'masses' in the New Statesman, Charles Madge wrote a letter to the journal saying that the public reaction to the abdication needed to be studied by 'mass observations'.
Madge was a poet, born in 1912, who'd read science at Cambridge University but who left to become a journalist without finishing his degree.

Charles Madge (1912-96) published two volumes (The Disappearing Castle, The Father Found) with Faber in his twenties; this is his first volume of poetry since 1941.
Madge's style increasingly, and from the first, placed the demand that the language of poetry should be as precise as the standards of academic discourse, under the penalty of regression and infantilism.
For Madge at that time the theme meant, however, the dialectic, and he was seeing a scene from two sides in that sense: 'After the revolution, all that we have seen/ Flitting as shadows on the flatness of the screen/ Will stand out solid' (p.

The first to daydream about an “anthropology of ourselves” was Charles Madge, a young man with a long face, slender fingers, beautiful manners, and a steely will.
After Madge left school, Yeats put two of his poems in the “Oxford Book of Modern Verse,” and Eliot arranged a day job for him as a reporter for the Daily Mirror.
Madge, then twenty-four, had been mixing with England’s Surrealists, who, following Freud, saw significance in accidents, and he started to wonder if there could be a meaning in the destruction of such an iconic building.

Early in 1937, Harrisson's one and only published poem appeared in the New Statesman on the same page as a letter from Madge and Jennings, in which they outlined their London-based project to encourage a national panel of volunteers to reply to regular questionnaires on a variety of matters.
Harrisson and a team of observers continued their study of life and people in Bolton (the Worktown Project), while Madge remained in London to organise the writing of the volunteer panel.
Although Jennings and then Madge moved on, Mass-Observation continued to operate throughout the Second World War and into the early 1950s, producing a series of books about their work as well as thousands of reports.
