What is The silent morning: Culture and memory after the Armistice (Cultural History of Modern War) about?

This is the first book to study the cultural impact of the Armistice of 11 November 1918. It contains 14 new essays from scholars working in literature, music, art history and military history. The Armistice brought hopes for a better future, as well as sadness, disappointment and rage. Many people in all the combatant nations asked hard questions about the purpose of the war. These questions are explored in complex and nuanced ways in the literature, music and art of the period. This book revisits the silence of the Armistice and asks how its effect was to echo into the following decades. The essays are genuinely interdisciplinary and are written in a clear, accessible style. ** Review "This is a magnificent collection of essays on an original and exciting topic and will be a defining volume in the field." -- Santanu Das, King's College, London "The Silent Morning 'fills a significant gap in the field' and 'paves the way for further studies, transforming the way in which First World War remembrance is thought about." -- Hope Wolf, Women: A Cultural Review (26, 1: 2015) About the Author Trudi Tate is a Fellow of Clare Hall and an Affiliated Lecturer in the Faculty of English, Unive
