Recenzii

'This fine book presents important new research on the cultural history of the First World War. It brings neglected areas of knowledge into focus, deepening our understanding of book history, and of the complex and various activities undertaken by writers, publishers, propagandists, and journals during the war. The essays are lively, intelligent, well researched and well written. A valuable new study for scholars, and an excellent resource for students.' - Trudi Tate, Clare Hall, University of Cambridge, UK
'A highly welcome contribution to the field, this book about publishing during the Great War addresses who was reading what, and where. The international scope of the volume demonstrates the interconnected world of print, and its documentation will ground future research in the field.' - Professor Margaret R. Higonnet, University of Connecticut, USA
'This volume offers much valuable work in the ongoing war of representation and illustrates how much can be illuminated by the various disciplinary perspectives that make up the History of the Book.' - Andrew Nash, Times Literary Supplement
