A genuinely comparative study of the cultural impact of the Great
War on British and German societies in the first half of the
twentieth century. Taking public commemorations as its focus, this
book unravels the British and German search for historical
continuity and meaning in the shadow of an unprecedented human
catastrophe. In both countries, the survivors of the Great War
pictured the conflict as the 'Last Crusade' and sought consolation
in imagery that connected the soldiers of the age of total war with
the knights of the Middle Ages. Stefan Goebel shows that
medievalism as a mode of war commemoration transcended national and
cultural boundaries. This is an invaluable contribution to the
burgeoning study of cultural memory and collective remembrance
which will appeal to researchers and students in the history of the
First World War, social and cultural history of warfare and
medieval studies.
