Media, Memory, And The First World War
Why does the Great War seem part of modern memory when its rituals of mourning and remembrance were traditional, romantic, even classical? This book shows how classic Great War literature, including work by Remarque, Owen, Sassoon, and Harrison, was symptomatic of a cultural crisis brought on by the advent of cinema.
