Double-weighted statement
The request for double-weighting rests on this book’s very extensive original research across published and archival material to explore the complex relations of text, genre, and ultimately language itself to the experience of the Great War. Five years in preparation, it considers WWI’s impact not only on the writing of combatants or witnesses, but on the whole literary field of the earlier twentieth century, both established Edwardian authors and the following emergence of modernist writing. It draws together research into literature, biography, memoir, newspapers, archives from the Imperial War Museum and unpublished WWI manuscripts in the National Library of Scotland.
