The Lost Boys

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

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.
