Description

An anthology of Great War short stories by British writers, both famous and lesser-known authors, men and women, during the war and after its end. These stories are able to illustrate the impact of the Great War on British society and culture and the many modes in which short fiction contributed to the war's literature. The selection covers different periods- the war years themselves, the famous boom years of the late 1920s to the more recent past in which the First World War has received new cultural interest.
