Opis

This book brings together emerging and leading scholars to discuss, reflect upon, and re-consider the ways that time has been conceptualised both during the First World War itself and in subsequent scholarship. The result is an inspiring and thought-provoking set of papers from the next generation of First World War scholars. In its varied yet thematically-related chapters, the book aims to examine new chronologies of the Great War and bring together its military and social history.
