Description
Book SynopsisThe 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.
Trade Review“Lavishly illustrated . . . written in a lively style . . . Ms. Brockington deftly focuses on an important yet often neglected facet of Modernism.”—William Anthony Hay, Wall Street Journal
