This is a ground-breaking history of the British monarchy in the
First World War and of the social and cultural functions of
monarchism in the British war effort. Heather Jones examines how
the conflict changed British cultural attitudes to the monarchy,
arguing that the conflict ultimately helped to consolidate the
crown's sacralised status. She looks at how the monarchy engaged
with war recruitment, bereavement, gender norms, as well as at its
political and military powers and its relationship with Ireland and
the empire. She considers the role that monarchism played in
military culture and examines royal visits to the front, as well as
the monarchy's role in home front morale and in interwar war
commemoration. Her findings suggest that the rise of republicanism
in wartime Britain has been overestimated and that war
commemoration was central to the monarchy's revered interwar status
up to the abdication crisis.
