Aftershocks

Politics and Trauma in Britain, 1918-1931

Beschreibung

This book examines the impact of collective trauma arising out of the Great War on the politics of the 1920s in Britain. "Aftershocks" studies how meanings of shellshock and imagery presenting the traumatized psyche as shattered contributed to Britons understandings of their political selves in the 1920s. It connects the force of emotions to the political culture of a decade which saw extraordinary violence against those regarded as un-English.
