Description
The First World War' at once extends and marks a departure from established understandings of the literature and culture of the First World War. In a series of compelling readings, scholars who have shaped the field rethink the intersections between war, literature, culture, and modernity across an international range of writers.0Provides a more expanded and global understanding of First World War literature and culture. Examines the work of notable literary figures such as Owen, Rosenberg, Jones, H.G. Wells, Thomas Hardy, Virginia Woolf, Rebecca West, Anna Akhmatova, and Rabindranath Tagore. Covers a range of literary themes such as ideas of silence, sacrifice, the unfathomable, and the divide between the living and the dead. Uses the visual arts, including film, photography, and the fine arts to further explore the cultural history of the First World War.
