The contributors in this volume analyze how wartime escapism expressed through recreational activities, the media or artistic creation served as tools of diversion, triggering national pride and hope, among the countries of the Entente or the Alliance powers. These mechanisms of survival also provided a way to unite the general public behind the war effort as well as to strengthen the bonds between the home and the battlefront"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Preface / Karen Randell -- Introduction : Humor, Entertainment, and Popular Culture During World War I (WWI) / CleÌmentine Tholas-Disset and Karen A.
