This book examines how and why literature has had this impact, exploring the role played by authors, publishers and readers in constructing the memory of the war since 1918. It demonstrates that publishers were as influential as authors in shaping perceptions of the conflict, and it provides a detailed analysis of critical and popular responses to war books, tracing the evolution of readers' attitudes to the war between 1918 and 2014. By exploring the cultural legacy of the war from these two previously overlooked perspectives, Vincent Trott offers fresh insights regarding the emergence of a collective memory of the First World War in Britain. Drawing on a broad range of primary source material, including publishers' correspondence, dust jackets, adverts, book reviews and diary entries, and examining canonical authors such as Wilfred Owen, Siegfried Sassoon and Vera Brittain alongside long-forgotten texts and more recent autobiographical works by Harry Patch and Henry Allingham, Publishers, Readers and the Great War provides a rich and nuanced analysis of the climate within which First World War literature was written, published and received since 1918. 611 27 $a World War (1914-1918) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01180746 650 0 $a English literature $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a World War, 1914-1918 $z Great Britain. 650 0 $a Publishers and publishing $z Great Britain $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Literature publishing $z Great Britain $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Books and reading $z Great Britain $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a World War, 1914-1918 $z Great Britain $x History. $x History. 650 0 $a Collective memory and literature $z Great Britain $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a World War, 1914-1918 $z Great Britain $x Historiography. 650 7 $a Books and reading. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00836454 650 7 $a Collective memory and literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01744423 650 7 $a English literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00911989 650 7 $a Historiography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00958221 650 7 $a Literature publishing. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01000111 650 7 $a Public opinion. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01082785 650 7 $a Publishers and publishing. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01083463 650 7 $a War and literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01170442 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180710083053.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=198C5100026811E89DEE1C1997128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
