The Silent Morning by Trudi Tate
Now available in paperback, this study of the cultural impact of the Armistice of 11 November 1918 contains fourteen new essays from scholars working in literature, music, art history and military history. The Armistice brought hopes for a better future, as well as sadness, disappointment and rage. Many people in all the combatant nations asked hard questions about the purpose of the war. These questions are explored in complex and nuanced ways in the literature, music and art of the period. This book revisits the silence of the Armistice and asks how its effect was to echo into the following decades. The essays are genuinely interdisciplinary and are written in a clear, accessible style.-

'One thing is certain: among the thousands of books published to mark the centenary of the Great War, there will be few, if any, which examine the immediate aftermath of the fighting as originally, incisively and movingly as the collections of essays in 'The Silent Morning'', Susan Smart|'This is a magnificent collection of essays on an original and exciting topic and will be a defining volume in the field.'
Santanu Das, King's College, London|The Silent Morning 'fills a significant gap in the field' and 'paves the way for further studies, transforming the way in which First World War remembrance is thought about.'
