Description
The Great War and Modern Memory by Paul Fussell is a landmark study that explores the impact of World War I on modern literature. First published in 1975, this influential work remains a powerful account of the war's effects on those who wrote about it.
Fussell examines the work of six key writers - Siegfried Sassoon, Robert Graves, Edmund Blunden, David Jones, Isaac Rosenberg, and Wilfred Owen - to understand how they memorialized the war in their writing. This special edition features a new introduction and afterword by the author.
