Publisher's Synopsis
Marking the centenary year since the armistice of the First World War, this volume focuses on the broader aspects of the conflict with specific reference to the Cornish experience. It explores a range of topics: the popular response to the outbreak of war, literary perspectives relating to Cornwall, the role of the Cornish Diaspora, the post-war tragedy of Levant and contemporary remembrance of the Great War. It also highlights the need for a war studies perspective to be extended to other conflicts through time from a Cornish perspective.
