Sites Of Memory, Sites Of Mourning - The Great War In European Cultural History - Thryft

Insightful dissection of Great War's collective memory.

If you're fascinated by how societies grapple with grief collectively, "Sites Of Memory, Sites Of Mourning" can serve as an illuminating read. Jay Winter delves into the aftermath of the First World War not through a list of events, but by painting a cultural and emotional landscape. This book will give you a nuanced understanding of the threads that wove European culture together during a time of loss and rebuilding. It's poignant for those interested in the interplay between history and collective memory.

Description

Jay Winter's powerful and substantial new study of the "collective remembrance" of the Great War offers a major reassessment of one of the critical episodes in the cultural history of the twentieth century. Using a wide variety of literary, artistic and architectural evidence, Dr. Winter looks anew at the ways, many of them highly traditional, in which communities endeavored to find collective solace after the carnage of the First World War. The result is a profound and moving book, of seminal importance for the attempt to understand the course of European history during the first half of the twentieth century.
