In the Preface to his ground-breaking The Great War and Modern Memory (1975), Paul Fussell claimed that "the dynamics and iconography of the Great War have proved crucial political, rhetorical, and artistic determinants on subsequent life." Forty years after the publication of Fussell's study, the contributors to this volume reconsider whether the myth generated by World War I is still "part of the fiber of [people's] lives" in English-speaking countries. What is the place of the First World War in cultural memory today? How have the literary means for remembering the war changed since the war.
