Produktbeschreibung

The past quarter of a century has witnessed an extraordinary increase in global interest in the Great War and the ways in which it is remembered. This title brings together a group of international scholars to understand this phenomenon across three key areas: remembrance through family history and genealogy; practices and representation of remembering through forms such as film, literature and heritage sites; and public rituals such as the wearing of poppies. Placing this topic in historical and transnational context and including illustrations and an afterword by Professor David Reynolds, this is the ideal book for all those interested in the history of the Great War and its aftermath.
