This book makes the case for a unique coastal-urban experience of
war on the home front during the First World War, focusing on case
studies from the north-east of England. The use of case studies
from this region problematises an often assumed national or
generalised experience of civilian life during the war, by shifting
the frame of analysis away from the metropolis. This book begins
with chapters related to wartime resilience, including analysis of
pre-war fear of invasion and bombardment, and government policy on
public safety. It then moves on to a discussion of power relations
and the local implementation of policy related to bombardment,
including policing. Finally, the book explores the 'coastal-urban'
environment, focusing on depictions of war damage in popular
culture, and the wartime and post-war commemoration of civilian
bombardment. This work provides a multi-faceted perspective on
civilian resilience, while responding to a recent call for new
histories of the 'coastal zone'.
