Literature Of World War I




During the war many of the combatants published trench magazines, most of them for an audience in a particular division or unit. The most famous of these (and the only one still commercially available after the war) was the Wipers Times .

A common subject for fiction in the 1920s and 1930s was the effect of the war, including Shell-shock and the huge social changes caused by the war.

From the latter half of the 20th Century onwards, the First World War continued to be a popular subject for fiction, mainly novels.
