British First World War Propaganda
By David Monger
0 - Default Title
Description
Combining analysis of the latest scholarship with discussion of primary propaganda sources, Monger provides a critical introduction to the diversity of First World War propaganda, in addition to an overview of the current state of the field. Examining subjects ranging from Duty and Jokes, to Kultur and Unofficial Propaganda, the author highlights how each form of propaganda was conceived, who was involved in its creation, and how it impacted its targets, whilst also crafting a narrative that links each topic from A to Z.
With individual forms of propaganda being central to Monger's account, the author expertly uses each form as a starting point to examine broader social and cultural aspects of wartime Britain. For example, by linking imperial support to Britain's self-styling on both world and home stages, and demonstrating how notions of 'the British way of life' played into idea about duty and encouragements to enlist, Monger highlights the pervasive nature of British propaganda during the First World War, and reinforces its dependence on existing sociocultural factors.
