Excellent overview of the cultural arts in the UK before, during and after WWI. 3245. A War Imagined / The First World War and English Culture, by Samuel Hynes (read 21 Sept 1999) I read Hynes' 1968 book, The Edwardian Turn of Mind, on Oct 15, 1994, and his 1968 book, The Auden Generation, on 4 Nov 1993. This book covers the period between those two books, and is the best of the three, I thought. Its period is one I have long had an absorbing interest in, and the book did not disappoint.

"Between the opulent Edwardian years and the 1920s the First World War opens like a gap in time. England after the war was a different place; the arts were different; history was different; sex, society, class were all different. Samuel Hynes examines the process of that transformation. He explores a vast cultural mosaic comprising novels and poetry, music and theatre, journalism, paintings, films, parliamentary debates, public monuments, sartorial fashions, personal diaries and letters. Told in rich detail, this penetrating account shatters much of the received wisdom about the First World War. It shows how English culture adapted itself to the needs of killing, how our stereotypes of the war gradually took shape and how the nations thought and imagination were profoundly and irretrievably changed."
