This work offers a portrait of the relationship between British First World War culture and modernist writings. It shows that modernist writers and combatants shared a concern with the divide between language and experience. The analysis extends to memorials, posters and architecture.

Booth offers a complex portrait of the relation between British Great War culture and modernist writings. She notes that unlike civilians, modernist writers and combatants shared a concern with the divide between language and experience, and draws connections between the sensibility of the modernist writer and the soldier, particularly regarding efforts to describe dying and the dead. Her analysis extends to memorials, posters, and architecture of the Great War, though her emphasis is on literary works by Robert Graves, E.M. Forster, Vera Brittain, and others.
