James Fox

Opis

Overturning decades of scholarly orthodoxies, James Fox makes a bold new argument about the First World War's cultural consequences.

Recenzje

'Fox provides a detailed, elegant account of the art world at war and emphasizes that the conflict's reach was far more encompassing and engaging than the current proliferation of commemorative activities might indicate.' Ross Wilson, The Journal of Modern History
