With its specific focus on British representations of masculinity
in relation to the trauma of the First World War and notions of
national identity, class and sexuality, this book provides a much
needed addition to the historiography of visual culture during the
period. The study interrogates the complications arising out of
issues of trauma, cultural expressions of sexuality and affect, as
well as the ways in which these are encoded in diverse forms in
visual culture and commemorative objects. Concentrating on
masculinity and cultural memory, it investigates the ways in which
these and the web of power relations that they entail worked during
the interwar years in order to reconstruct the post-First World War
British society. In the course of the narrative, the author looks
at Bolshevism and the Returning Ex-Servicemen, the 1919 NUR Strike,
the Central Labour College in conjunction with banners and
revolution, as well as the Imperial War Graves, the Cenotaph, the
London and North Western Railway memorial, the Machine Gun Corps
Memorial and the establishment of the Imperial War Museum. He also
excavates new archival material, particularly case studies of shell
shock sufferers and film footage of male hysteria.
