Course Particulars:
The Great War – cultural change or continuity
Tutor – Philip Hemming
A study of the war and its aftermath to examine the effects on British culture & society.
| Title: |
The Great War – cultural change or continuity |
| Tutor: | Philip Hemming |
| About this course: | The Great War is often remembered, to quote Blackadder, a “the blood, the mud, the endless poetry” but the conflict also gave rise to forms of cultural production that in many cases still resonate down to us today. Alongside the prose and poetry we will examine the art, memorials, trench art, plays, films and television programmes whilst hopefully having the flexibility to examine other areas of group interest. |
