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.Cultural history of modern war.World War, 1914-1918ArmisticesSocial aspectsArmistice.Austria.Britain.British popular fiction.First World War.Germany.archival research.art criticism.art history.cultural history.historical analysis.literary criticism.memory studies.military history.musical analysis.peace treaties.post-war uncertainties.World War, 1914-1918ArmisticesSocial aspects.940.439Kennedy Kate1977-Tate TrudiMdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910810674903321The silent morning3955343UNINA$43.7506/22/2018Hist
