The First World War has given rise to a multifaceted cultural
production like no other historical event. This handbook surveys
British literature and film about the war from 1914 until today.
The continuing interest in World War I highlights the
interdependence of war experience, the imaginative re-creation of
that experience in writing, and individual as well as collective
memory. In the first part of the handbook, the major genres of war
writing and film are addressed, including of course poetry and the
novel, but also the short story; furthermore, it is shown how our
conception of the Great War is broadened when looked at from the
perspective of gender studies and post-colonial criticism. The
chapters in the second part present close readings of important
contributions to the literary and filmic representation of World
War I in Great Britain. All in all, the contributions demonstrate
how the opposing forces of focusing and canon-formation on the one
hand, and broadening and revision of the canon on the other, have
characterised British literature and culture of the First World
War.
