This book examines issues around the representation and memory of the
First World War. With contributions from international academics, the
chapters cover a wide range of the historiographical aspects of war
including the nature of representing the war in letters and diaries; the
documentation of language change; the language of representing the war
in reportage and literature; and the language of remembering the war.
This book will appeal to a wide readership including linguists and
historians and is complemented by the sister volume Languages and the
First World War: Communicating in a Transnational War which examines
language change and documentation during the war, covering issues such
as languages at the front, propaganda and language manipulation, and
recording language during the war.
