The First World War: Literature, Culture, Modernity at once extends and marks a departure from established understandings of the literature and culture of the First World War.

The terms 'war writing', 'modernism', and 'modernity' are themselves revisited as the cast of internationally renowned contributors embed the conflict in a broader and more global understanding of twentieth-century literature and culture. 1 Introduction / Santanu Das and Kate McLoughlin -- Part 1.
