Examining a range of different exhibitions in Britain, Canada, and Australia, Jennifer Wellington reveals complex imperial dynamics in the ways these countries developed diverging understandings of the First World War, despite their cultural, political, and institutional similarities. While in Britain a popular narrative developed of the conflict as a tragic rupture with the past, Australia and Canada came to see it as engendering national birth through violence. Narratives of the war's meaning were deliberately constructed by individuals and groups pursuing specific agendas: to win the war and immortalise it at the same time. Drawing on a range of documentary and visual material, this book analyses how narratives of mass violence changed over time. Emphasising the contingent development of national and imperial war museums, it illuminates the way they acted as spaces in which official, academic, and popular representations of this violent past intersect" $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a World War, 1914-1918 $z Great Britain $v Art and the war. 650 0 $a World War, 1914-1918 $z Canada $v Art and the war. 650 0 $a World War, 1914-1918 $z Australia $v Art and the war. 611 27 $a World War (1914-1918) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01180746 651 7 $a Australia. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204543 651 7 $a Canada. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204310 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 648 7 $a 1914-1918 $2 fast 655 7 $a Art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423702 830 0 $a Studies in the social and cultural history of modern warfare. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191211025602.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BFE8AAF4840811E89478B85797128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
