Reviews:

Understanding the Literature of World War I joins others in the 'Literature in Context' series to present high school to college level students with a 'casebook' to issues, sources and historical documents. Students may use this to understand both World War II history and the fiction works which resulted in such classics as All Quiet On the Western Front, making it of dual importance to both American history and literature classes.
—Internet Bookwatch August 2005

Description: This casebook is organized around five specific issues and themes that recur in the literature: War at the Front explores actual military combat, Women and the Homefront reveals the impact of tragic loss on families, and War Poetry confronts the anti-war sentiment, expressed by poets such as Rupert Brook, Siegfried Sassoon, and Wilfred Owen. Strategic Technology of Modern War looks squarely at the impact of Progaganda and Civilian Bombing. A final chapter examines the aftermath of war with analysis of fictional works such as Tender is the Night and Mrs. Dalloway. Each chapter concludes with questions for classroom discussions and assignments as well as suggested further readings.
