| Abstract | "Posthumous Lives looks at how the dead of World War I were both remembered and memorialized (in public and privately) in the months, years, and decades after war's end. By looking at debates about how to commemorate the dead--and which dead to memorialize--London explores the compelling hold over the English national imagination that World War I still has."-- Provided by publisher. |
