This book analyses poetry and prose written by combatant and non-combatant Irish writers during the First World War, and goes on to look at how the war was remembered in the two decades that followed. It concludes with a discussion of recent Irish literature about the conflict, focusing on the role of memory and the narrative of nationhood.
