A collection of essays examining how the British experience of the First World War has been interpreted, remembered and represented as the conflict passes beyond living memory. Introduced by distinguished military historian Sir Michael Howard, the book brings together leading historians and specialists to consider both the events of the war and their continuing place in British culture.
The twenty-two contributions cover subjects including military revisionism, the British soldier, wartime propaganda and public opinion, Gallipoli, Jutland, the Somme, soldiers executed for military offences, India’s contribution to the war, religion, official films, memorials, women and the Armistice, war poetry and prose, oral history, Britten’s War Requiem, popular culture, remembrance and battlefield archaeology.
A wide-ranging study of the changing historiography and cultural legacy of the First World War, suitable for students, researchers and general readers interested in Britain’s experience and remembrance of the conflict.
