The pairing of high modernist with mass-cultural novels is ingenious, and reveals the overarching coherence of British culture in the Great War.'\u003cbr\u003eStephen Ross, University of Victoria\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e‘Andrew Frayn's \u003ci\u003eWriting Disenchantment \u003c\/i\u003eis a signal achievement - an original, thoughtful book that forces us to think again about both the Great War's legacies, and the relationship between British society, culture, and economy in the widest possible sense. Keenly attentive to the politically charged nature of writing about war and its aftermath, and ranging across ostensibly discrete forms of 'mass' and 'modernist' writing, Frayn shows how disenchantment became a keynote in the formation of British modernities. Vital reading for literary critics and historians working on this period, \u003ci\u003eWriting Disenchantment\u003c\/i\u003e is also an excellent critical introduction to the contested memories of the Great War for undergraduate and postgraduate students.’\u003cbr\u003eMatt Houlbrook, Professor of Cultural History, University of Birmingham\u003c\/p\u003e -- .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e1.
