Description:
The last soldier who saw trench action in the Great War died in 2009. With his passing, all direct memory of the horror of that war ceased—memory became history. But Brian Kennedy argues that our collective need to grieve the horrors of the Great War still remains. 

In this wide-ranging book, Kennedy looks at a variety of fiction recently written about World War I, from Jacqueline Winspear’s Birds of a Feather to Pat Barker’s Regeneration, from Joseph Boyden’s Three Day Road to Timothy Findley’s The Wars, with many other books besides. He considers the traditional stories and tropes of the war, along with modern revisionings, the role of women in the war, and even Irish issues and the divisions within the British Empire. In the end, he argues persuasively that the cultural process of grieving concerns both the fear of forgetting and the need to build a narrative arc to contain events that shaped the past century and continue to shape the present.
