La Primera Guerra Mundial marcó el nacimiento en Europa de una nueva conciencia, definida por la desconfianza, la ironía y el pesimismo existencial. Esta ruptura de los paradigmas de la sociedad occidental está en los orígenes de la modernidad y prefigura el relativismo contemporáneo.
La Gran Guerra y la memoria moderna rastrea los orígenes de aquel cambio histórico a través de la obra de los escritores ingleses que lo vivieron en primera persona: Robert Graves, Siegfried Sassoon, David Jones, Isaac Rosenberg y Wilfred Owen.

Work Description
In this classic work, Paul Fussell illuminates the British experience on the Western Front from 1914 to 1918, focusing primarily on the literary means by which The Great War has been remembered, conventionalized, and mythologized. Drawing on the work of important wartime poets such as David Jones and Wilfred Owen, on the memoirs of Siegfried Sassoon, Robert Graves, and Edmund Blunden, and on numerous other personal records housed in the Imperial War Museum, this award-winning volume provides an intimate and intensely poetic account of the event that revolutionized the way we see the world. It has been hailed as "humanly wise and compassionate" (Saturday Review), "original and brilliant" (Lionel Trilling), "bright and sensitive" (The New Yorker), and "probing, sympathetic, and illuminating" (The New Republic). It is an undisputed classic of cultural criticism. (from Amazon)
