Introduction to WWI Literature

This is a basic introduction to WWI literature; it explains some of the ideas that changed in the event of the war. WWI, much more than WWII, marked a shift in the war people thought about the world around them (and themselves). That's why it's so important. You'll need to buy a copy of the book Regeneration, by Pat Barker. That, along with the play 'Journey's End' and the poetry of Sassoon and Owen will mark your reading for the summer and our programme of study.
