Fritz Fischer is a German his t orian who caused an historical controversy in the 1960s by claiming that recent evidence of a German plan for territorial annexations, drafted during the First World War, indicated that Germany had provoked a war with France and Russia in 1914. An historical consensus now concludes that Fischer's evidence only reinforced older interpretations of the war's causation that predicated German culpability upon its desire to support its ally, Austria-Hungary, in a...
Show moreFritz Fischer is a German his t orian who caused an historical controversy in the 1960s by claiming that recent evidence of a German plan for territorial annexations, drafted during the First World War, indicated that Germany had provoked a war with France and Russia in 1914. An historical consensus now concludes that Fischer's evidence only reinforced older interpretations of the war's causation that predicated German culpability upon its desire to support its ally, Austria-Hungary, in a military strike against Russia's protege, Serbia. Prior historians could not blame the war solely upon Germany's desire for world power, since the Austro-Serbian conflict reflected ambitions of various powers to dominate the Balkans. Germany, therefore, was condemned for miscalculating Franco-Russian determination to block an Austrian subjugation of Serbia in 1914, but not for provoking a war of conquest against Russia and France, as Fischer suggests.

Since its end, scholars and historians have viewed World War I primarily in terms of its impact upon the military and diplomatic spheres of European life and have also made attempts to determine responsibility for starting the war.

Show moreSince its end, scholars and historians have viewed World War I primarily in terms of its impact upon the military and diplomatic spheres of European life and have also made attempts to determine responsibility for starting the war. What has been largely ignored is the plight of those who did the fighting--especially German volunteer soldiers. These young men enlisted in the war effort because of a concrete set of assumptions that were later radicalized during the war experience, which was characterized by seemingly endless labor and episodic periods of extreme violence. This transformation of beliefs had a profound impact upon the shaping of the modern world.

- C. E. MONTAGUE'S HOLISTIC VIEW OF THE GREAT WAR.

- Abstract/Description

The Great War of 1914/18 was complex because it was the major transition from historic conflicts in which guns were controlled by men to one in which men were controlled by tanks and aircraft. C. E. Montague's view of this complex conflict was holistic because of the journalistic skill he acquired before the war and his personal experience during the war as a private in training camp, as a sergeant in the trenches, and as an officer attached to British general headquarters.

Show moreThe Great War of 1914/18 was complex because it was the major transition from historic conflicts in which guns were controlled by men to one in which men were controlled by tanks and aircraft. C. E. Montague's view of this complex conflict was holistic because of the journalistic skill he acquired before the war and his personal experience during the war as a private in training camp, as a sergeant in the trenches, and as an officer attached to British general headquarters. His writings about the war are compared with those of Cate Haste, a historian; H. M. Tomlinson, a war correspondent; Wyndham Lewis, an artist and author; Frank Richards, a professional soldier; Siegfried Sassoon, a poet; and Edmund Blunden, a scholar. None of these had the range of understanding possessed by Montague.

- Echoes of the western front: Images of trench warfare in the post-war fiction of West, Faulkner, and Caldwell.
- Creator
- McFather, Moira Kathleen., Florida Atlantic University, McGuirk, Carol
- Abstract/Description
-
The war novels and propaganda of World War I infused Americans with a consciousness of trench warfare through images of degradation, discontinuity, and the irrelevance of human effort. Three modernist novels, The Day of the Locust (1933) by Nathanael West, As I Lay Dying (1930) by William Faulkner, and God's Little Acre (1934) by Erskine Caldwell, are infused with this same imagery. Though neither West, Faulkner, nor Caldwell participated in the war, their works symbolically echo the images...
Show moreThe war novels and propaganda of World War I infused Americans with a consciousness of trench warfare through images of degradation, discontinuity, and the irrelevance of human effort. Three modernist novels, The Day of the Locust (1933) by Nathanael West, As I Lay Dying (1930) by William Faulkner, and God's Little Acre (1934) by Erskine Caldwell, are infused with this same imagery. Though neither West, Faulkner, nor Caldwell participated in the war, their works symbolically echo the images of trench warfare, a development uniquely central to World War I. Although these novels do not mention war, the world of "The Great War" is their world. There has been much written on the symbolism in these three novels. No critic, however, associates the symbols with trench warfare. This thesis therefore relies on the historical and psychological research of World War I, which is then applied to the works of West, Faulkner, and Caldwell.

- Abstract/Description

This inquiry considers the nature of the treaty ratification debates in France, England, and the United States from the June 28, 1919 signing of the Versailles Treaty until its final repudiation by the U.S. Senate in March 1920. It has two main linked objectives: to examine the agendas of Clemenceau, Lloyd George, and Wilson and the strategies each employed in their attempts to convince their constituents to accept the treaty package, and to argue that the peace these executives negotiated...
Show moreThis inquiry considers the nature of the treaty ratification debates in France, England, and the United States from the June 28, 1919 signing of the Versailles Treaty until its final repudiation by the U.S. Senate in March 1920. It has two main linked objectives: to examine the agendas of Clemenceau, Lloyd George, and Wilson and the strategies each employed in their attempts to convince their constituents to accept the treaty package, and to argue that the peace these executives negotiated was by no means a foregone conclusion at the treaty signing since legislative approval was required in each case. In each country, objections to the Treaty were closely linked to the personalities and actions of each negotiator. Opposition to the treaty developed long before the delegates ever assembled at Paris. Prompted in part by a curious gap in historical scholarship in the time frame between the ceremony at Versailles and the decade of the 1920's, this thesis endeavors to prove that matters disputed after the conclusion of deliberations with Germany were actually a continuation of, rather than a reaction to, the politics conducted during the war itself.

- Abstract/Description

Great War veteran David Jones's poem about the war, In Parenthesis, has been attacked by literary critics Paul Fussell and Evelyn Cobley on the grounds that the poem, usually read as an instance of "literature of protest" against the war, indicates Jones's ideological complicity with the war through its extensive allusions to heroic Celtic myth, British literature, and Catholic liturgy.

Show moreGreat War veteran David Jones's poem about the war, In Parenthesis, has been attacked by literary critics Paul Fussell and Evelyn Cobley on the grounds that the poem, usually read as an instance of "literature of protest" against the war, indicates Jones's ideological complicity with the war through its extensive allusions to heroic Celtic myth, British literature, and Catholic liturgy. This thesis argues that Jones's intricate allusive network represents a mythopoetic method of endurance, a way of making order amidst the chaos of the Western Front. Jones's mythopoetic method, which I call allusive "seeing," serves as both a psychological defense mechanism against the war's strangeness and horror and a protest against the perception that because of the industrial, unheroic nature of the Great War, the soldiers who fought and died in it cannot be considered heroes.
