*APPROVED* A new exploration of literary and artistic responses to WW1 from 1914 to the present This authoritative reference work examines literary and artistic responses to the war's upheavals across a wide range of media and genres, from poetry to pamphlets, sculpture to television documentary, and requiems to war reporting. Rather than looking at particular forms of artistic expression in isolation and focusing only on the war and inter-war period, the 26 essays collected in this volume approach artistic responses to the war from a wide variety of angles and, where appropriate, pursue their inquiry into the present day. In 6 sections, covering Literature, the Visual Arts, Music, Periodicals and Journalism, Film and Broadcasting, and Publishing and Material Culture, a wide range of experts across literature and the arts examine what means and approaches were employed to respond to the shock of war. How and why have literary and artistic responses to the war changed over time? How far are later works of art responses not only to the war itself, but to earlier cultural production? These are key questions that this volume seeks to answer. Ann-Marie Einhaus is Senior Lecturer in Modern and Contemporary Literature at Northumbria University. She is the author of The Short Story and the First World War (2013) and editor of The Cambridge Companion to the English Short Story (2016). Katherine Isobel Baxter is Reader in English Literature at Northumbria University. She is the author of Joseph Conrad and the Swan Song of Romance (2010), and co-editor, with Robert Hampson, of Conrad and Language (2016).
