This volume aims to provide a wider view of First World War
experience through focusing on landscapes less commonly considered
in historiography, and on voices that have remained on the margins
of popular understanding of the war. The landscape of the western
front was captured during the conflict in many different ways: in
photographs, paintings and print. The most commonly replicated
voicing of contemporary attitudes towards the war is that of
initial enthusiasm giving way to disillusionment and a sense of
overwhelming futility. Investigations of the many components of war
experience drawn from social and cultural history have looked to
landscapes and voices beyond the frontline as a means of
foregrounding different perspectives on the war. Not all of the
voices presented here opposed the war, and not all of the
landscapes were comprised of trenches or flanked by barbed wire.
Collectively, they combine to offer further fresh insights into the
multiplicity of war experience, an alternate space to the familiar
tropes of mud and mayhem.
