Literature and the Great War 1914-1918 (Oxford Textual Perspectives)
Randall Stevenson has done much to reveal the "varied, imaginative vision" of First World War writings. His book will teach the student reader that such literature is generically diverse and thematically varied, traditional and innovative, long and short, prolix and reticent. Literature and the Great War will also demonstrate that the conflict resists definitive interpretation and, in consequence, belongs to no one. Rather, it belongs to everyone, and the centenary events will do it justice if they elicit creative responses to individual and collective memories. Kate McLoughlin, The Times Literary Supplement
