Remembering the First World War brings together a group of
international scholars to understand how and why the past quarter
of a century has witnessed such an extraordinary increase in global
popular and academic interest in the First World War, both as an
event and in the ways it is remembered. The book discusses this
phenomenon across three key areas. The first section looks at
family history, genealogy and the First World War, seeking to
understand the power of family history in shaping and reshaping
remembrance of the War at the smallest levels, as well as popular
media and the continuing role of the state and its agencies. The
second part discusses practices of remembering and the more public
forms of representation and negotiation through film, literature,
museums, monuments and heritage sites, focusing on agency in
representing and remembering war. The third section covers the
return of the War and the increasing determination among
individuals to acknowledge and participate in public rituals of
remembrance with their own contemporary politics. What, for
instance, does it mean to wear a poppy on armistice/remembrance
day? How do symbols like this operate today? These chapters will
investigate these aspects through a series of case studies. Placing
remembrance of the First World War in its longer historical and
broader transnational context and including illustrations and an
afterword by Professor David Reynolds, this is the ideal book for
all those interested in the history of the Great War and its
aftermath.
