Landscapes of the Western Front : Materiality During the Great War EPUB
by Ross Wilson
Part of the Routledge Studies in Modern European History series
EPUB
Description
This book examines the British soldiers on the Western Front and how they responded to the war landscape they encountered behind the lines and at the front.
Using a multidisciplinary perspective, this study investigates the relationship between soldiers and the spaces and materials of the warzone, analyzing how soldiers constructed a ‘sense of place’ in the hostile, unpredictable environment.
Drawing upon recent developments within First World War Studies and the anthropological examination of the fields of conflict, an ethnohistorical perspective of the soldiers is built which details the various ways soldiers responded to the physical and material world of the Western Front.
This study is also grounded in the wider debates on how the First World War is remembered within Britain and offers an alternative perspective on the individuals who fought in the world’s first global conflagration nearly a century ago.
