The Universal Brotherhood.This book recounts the reception of selected films about the Great War released between 1918 and 1938 in the USA and Great Britain. It discusses the role that popular cinema played in forming and reflecting public opinion about the War and its political and cultural aftermath in both countries. Although the centenary has produced a wide number of studies on the memorialisation of the Great War in Britain and to a lesser degree the USA, none of them focused on audience reception in relation to the Anglo-American ‘circulatory system’ of Trans-Atlantic culture.Palgrave studies in the history of the media.World War, 1914-1918Motion pictures and the warMotion picturesUnited StatesHistory20th centuryWorld War, 1914-1918Motion pictures and the war.Motion picturesHistory791.43658Copping Ryan928815MiAaPQMiAaPQUtOrBLWBOOK9910427037103321The great war in American and British cinema, 1918-19382087447UNINA
