Writing Disenchantment: British First World War Prose, 1914-30

Ten years ago, Cassidy Harte had stood at the altar waiting for Zach Slater. And when he didn't show up-and was said to have disappeared with her brother's flirtatious wife-she did the only thing she could do. Held her head up high. Helped raise her motherless niece. And swore never to get involved with a man again. And then back into her life walked Zach-with an "I'm sorry" on his lips, an explanation she refused to hear and the vow that he would make her his once again. And this was one vow he was determined to keepÃ¢ Â¦.

Abductive Analysis: Theorizing Qualitative Research

The Great War was the first in British history to involve virtually the entire population of Britain. A vast quantity of poems, fiction, essays, speeches, letters, memoirs and other written material was produced during 1914 and 1918 and Dominic Hibberd chooses both famous passages and excerpts which have never before been reprinted from both the imaginative poetry and prose of the period and documents such as newspapers and politicians' speeches. The linking commentary illuminates the very close relationship between the literature and history of this time, which is further highlighted by the chronological table plates section and further reading sections.

Fragmenting Modernism: Ford Madox Ford, the Novel and the Great War

Fragmenting Modernism is about Ford Madox Ford, a hero of the modernist literary revolution. Ford is a fascinating and fundamental figure of the time; as a friend and critic of Ezra Pound and Joseph Conrad, editor of the English Review, and author of The Good Soldier, he shaped the development of literary modernism. Setting Ford in his cultural and historical context, the opening chapter debates the concept of fragmentation in modernism. Later chapters discuss the notion of the personal narrative, and war writing. Ford's literary technique is studied comparatively, and plot summaries of his major books are provided, as is a brief biography.
