This book seeks to place children and young people centrally within
the study of the contemporary British home front, its cultural
representations and its place in the historical memory of the First
World War. This edited collection interrogates not only war and its
effects on children and young people, but how understandings of
this conflict have shaped or been shaped by historical memories of
the Great War, which have only allowed for several tropes of
childhood during the conflict to emerge. It brings together new
research by emerging and established scholars who, through a series
of tightly focussed case studies, introduce a range of new
histories to both explore the experience of being young during the
First World War, and interrogate the memories and representations
of the conflict produced for children. Taken together the chapters
in this volume shed light on the multiple ways in which the Great
War shaped, disrupted and interrupted childhood in Britain, and
illuminate simultaneously the selectivity of the portrayal of the
conflict within the more typical national narratives.
