This definitive volume will profoundly alter our understanding of the literature of the Great War. New critical approaches have, over the last two decades, redefined the term 'war literature' and its cultural legacy. Consisting, in equal measure, of essays by male and female scholars (from several different countries), and devoted to both familiar and lesser-known works, this book presents the many faces of Great War literary study at the millennium.

"The Belfry" is a novel by Mary Sinclair, a famous British writer who wrote about two dozen books, short stories, and poetry and actively participated in the suffrage movement. The novel is written in a lively, journalistic style and tells about the events that lead up to the scenes of The Great War (WWI). Some of the scenes from the life of the heroes were written from the author's real-life experiences as a volunteer of the Munro Ambulance Corps, a charitable organization that aided wounded Belgian soldiers on the Western Front in Flanders. The main characters are Belfry, a successful little author, half genius, half bounder, and his wife, a cathedral upbringing girl who loves his talent and despises his flaws. The complicated relations between the characters develop in the background of the evolving war, making them escape from one Belgium village to another to save themselves from the horrors of the battles.

The forgotten modernist, May Sinclair was close friends with Ezra Pound, Ford Madox Ford, Robert Frost and prominent figures of the London literary scene. She was the first critic to use the term “stream of consciousness” to describe a literary technique. Quick to assimilate new ideas of the Modernist movement, she wrote the stirring and formally experimental Bildungsroman ‘Mary Olivier’ (1919). A critically-respected and popular novelist, Sinclair was also a poet, philosopher, translator and critic, whose works span from the late 1880’s up until the late 1920’s.
