《The Cambridge Companion to the Literature of the First World War》

The Great War of 1914-1918 marks a turning point in modern history and culture. This Companion offers critical overviews of the major literary genres and social contexts that define the study of the literatures produced by World War One. It examines the impact of the World War One on various national literatures, before addressing the way World War One affected Modernism, the European avant-garde, film, women's writing, memoirs, and of course the war poets. It concludes by addressing the legacy of the war for twentieth-century literature.
