This book shows how British authors used landscape description to shape the meaning of the First World War. It restores their fiction to largely forgotten cultural contexts of cartography, geography, and art history, using a broad range of critically neglected archival materials. Reexamining modernist and traditional writing in this light reveals how various modes of topographical representation, informed by pictorial and mapmaking conventions and globalizing visions, allowed authors to construct healing responses to the war.
