Posthumous Lives: World War I and the Culture of Memory by Bette London (English

Description: Posthumous Lives by Bette London Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description "Posthumous Lives looks at how the dead of World War I were both remembered and memorialized (in public and privately) in the months, years, and decades after wars end. By looking at debates about how to commemorate the dead--and which dead to memorialize--London explores the compelling hold over the English national imagination that World War I still has."-- Publisher Description Posthumous Lives explores the shifting significance of public and private efforts to commemorate British soldiers killed in World War I-as well as the less well-remembered casualties of the war, including Voluntary Aid Detachments, nurses, conscientious objectors, civilians, and soldiers executed for desertion or cowardice-and the compelling hold the First World War has had on the British imagination for more than a century. By using the concept of the posthumous life-the attempt to extend the presence of the dead into the lives of the living-Bette London demonstrates how this idea came to shape Britains First World War memory practices and rituals.London draws on a diverse range of source materials-from sentimental memorabilia books commissioned by bereaved families and canonical works of literature and art by Virginia Woolf, Wilfred Owen, and Sir Edwin Lutyens to centenary memorials and commemorative art installations-to uncover the surprising connections between memorialization practices, war writing, and modernism. Spanning the century from the middle of World War I to its centenary celebrations, Posthumous Lives illuminates, in a deeply moving narrative, how the dead are remembered to meet the shifting needs of the living.
