Book Synopsis
The early twentieth century is usually remembered as an era of rising nationalism and military hostility, culminating in the disaster of the First World War. This book explores the role of artists and writers in the formation of a modern, secular peace movement in Britain, and the impact of ideas about 'positive peace' on their artistic practice.
