Opis

For France the First World War was a war of national self-defence, but for Britain it was not. The essays collected in this bilingual volume, by a range of scholars working on both sides of the Channel, show that while the wider purposes of the war are striking for their absence in both French and British traditions, there are many common strands.

Recenzje

«La lecture de ce volume se recommande donc à plusieurs titres : pour les éclairages qu'apporte chacune de ses contributions mais, plus encore, pour les ouvertures auxquelles invite la perspective franco-anglaise dans lesquelles chacune d'elles trouve écho et fait sens.»
(Denis Pernot, REVUE D'HISTOIRE LITTÉRAIRE DE LA FRANCE 2017)
