More than in any other country, these collective British memories were influenced by the experiences and the work of writers, painters and musicians. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book revisits the British experience of the War through the eyes and ears of a diverse group of carefully selected novelists, poets, composers and painters. It examines how they reacted to and portrayed their experiences in the trenches on the Western Front, in distant theatres of war and on the home front, in words, pictures and music that would have a profound influence on subsequent British perceptions of the war. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRupert Brooke, Vera Brittain, Richard Nevinson, Paul Nash, Edward Elgar and T.
