The twenty-seven original contributions to this volume investigate
the ways in which the First World War has been commemorated and
represented internationally in prose fiction, drama, film,
docudrama and comics from the 1960s until the present. The volume
thus provides a comprehensive survey of the cultural memory of the
war as reflected in various media across national cultures,
addressing the complex connections between the cultural post-memory
of the war and its mediation. In four sections, the essays
investigate (1) the cultural legacy of the Great War (including its
mythology and iconography); (2) the implications of different forms
and media for representing the war; (3) 'national' memories,
foregrounding the differences in post-memory representations and
interpretations of the Great War, and (4) representations of the
Great War within larger temporal or spatial frameworks, focusing
specifically on the ideological dimensions of its 'remembrance' in
historical, socio-political, gender-oriented, and post-colonial
contexts.
