More about the book
Humorous depictions of the Great War are examined for their role in familiarizing and softening the perception of the conflict. Unlike traditional literature that highlights emotional turmoil, this book reveals how some writers employed humor to evoke mild amusement, utilizing popular genres from before 1914. In these portrayals, a sense of tameness prevails over chaos, and the ordinary is favored over the extraordinary, offering a unique perspective on the war's representation.
