"Through extensive archival and historical research, analysing previously unknown letters and diaries alongside close investigative readings of literary writings by figures such as Owen and Brittain, Santanu Das recovers the sensuous world of the First World War trenches and hospitals. This study alters our understanding of the period as well as of the body at war, and illuminates the perilous intimacy between sense experience, emotion and language in times of crisis."--BOOK JACKET

Book Details

First Sentence

"On 26 March 1917, in a front-line newspaper, some soldiers drew attention to what they thought to be the greatest reality of the Great War: At night, crouching in a shell-hole and filling it, the mud watches, like an enormous octopus."
