This book analyses soldiers' memoirs from the Great War of 1914-18
from Britain, France and Germany. It considers both the authors'
composition of the memoirs and the public response to them. It
provides contextual analysis through a survey of the different
types of contemporary writing about the Great War, through an
analysis of changes in the language used to describe combat, and
through an analysis of those people whose accounts of the war were
either excluded or marginalised. It also considers the
international response to the most successful of the texts. The
purpose of the analysis is to show how soldiers' memoirs
contributed to the collective memory of the war and how they
influenced public opinion about the war. These texts are both
autobiographical and historical and their relationship to the
fields of autobiography and historical writing is also considered,
as well as to the distinction between fact and fiction.
