This book analyzes the development of the Lost Generation narrative following the First World War. The author examines narratives that illustrate the fracture of upper-class identity, including well-known examples of the Lost Generation--Robert Graves, Siegfried Sassoon, and Vera Brittain--as well as other less typical cases--George Mallory and JRR Tolkien--to demonstrate the effects of the First World War on British society, culture, and politics.
Mary K. Laurents is lecturer in the Department of History at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County and the Department of Public History at Stevenson University.
