It was during the teens that filmmaking truly came into its own. Notably, the migration of studios to the West Coast established a connection between moviemaking and the exoticism of Hollywood. The essays in American Cinema of the 1910's explore the rapid developments of the decade that began with D. W. Griffith's unrivaled one-reelers. By mid-decade, multi-reel feature films were profoundly reshaping the industry and deluxe theaters were built to attract the broadest possible audience. Stars like Mary Pickford, Charlie Chaplin, and Douglas Fairbanks became vitally important and companies began writing high-profile contracts to secure them. With the outbreak of World War I, the political, economic, and industrial groundwork was laid for American cinema's global dominance. By the end of the decade, filmmaking had become a true industry, complete with vertical integration, efficient specialization and standardization of practices, and self-regulatory agencies.

World War I and Propaganda offers a new look at a familiar subject. The contributions to this volume demonstrate that the traditional view of propaganda as top-down manipulation is no longer plausible. Drawing from a variety of sources, scholars examine the complex negotiations involved in propaganda within the British Empire, in occupied territories, in neutral nations, and how war should be conducted. Propaganda was tailored to meet local circumstances and integrated into a larger narrative in which the war was not always the most important issue. Issues centering on local politics, national identity, preservation of tradition, or hopes of a brighter future all played a role in different forms of propaganda. Contributors are Christopher Barthel, Donata Blobaum, Robert Blobaum, Mourad Djebabla, Christopher Fischer, Andrew T. Jarboe, Elli Lemonidou, David Monger, Javier Pounce,Catriona Pennell, Anne Samson, Richard Smith, Kenneth Andrew Steuer, María Inés Tato, and Lisa Todd.

In late 2007 and early 2008, world-renowned historians gathered in Kansas City for a series of public forums on World War I. Each of the five events focused on a particular topic and featured spirited dialogue between its prominent participants. In spontaneous exchanges, the eminent scholars probed each other's arguments, learned from each other, and provided insights not just into history but also into the way scholars think about their subject alongside and at times in conflict with their colleagues. Representing a fourth generation of writers on the Great War and a transnational rather than an international approach, prominent historians Niall Ferguson and Paul Kennedy, Holger Afflerbach and Gary Sheffield, John Horne and Len Smith, John Milton Cooper and Margaret MacMillan, and Jay Winter and Robert Wohl brought to the proceedings an exciting clash of ideas. The forums addressed topics about the Great War that have long fascinated both scholars and the educated public: the origins of the war and the question of who was responsible for the escalation of the July Crisis; the nature of generalship and military command, seen here from the perspectives of a German and a British scholar; the private soldiers'experiences of combat, revealing their strategies of survival and negotiation; the peace-making process and the overwhelming pressures under which statesmen worked; and the long-term cultural consequences of the war—showing that the Great War was “great” not merely because of its magnitude but also because of its revolutionary effects. These topics continue to reverberate, and in addition to shedding new light on the subjects, these forums constitute a glimpse at how historical writing happens. American society did not suffer the consequences of the Great War that virtually all European countries knew—a lack of perspective that the National World War I Museum seeks to correct. This book celebrates that effort, helping readers feel the excitement and the moral seriousness of historical scholarship in this field and drawing more Americans into considering how their own history is part of this story.

In 1917 dichtte Wilfred Owen: 'The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est/ Pro patria mori' - het is een leugen dat het goed en gepast zou zijn voor je vaderland te sterven. Dat is ons beeld van de Eerste Wereldoorlog: een zinloze slachtpartij. Niet iedereen voelde dat toen zo aan. Overal ter wereld reageerden dichters op het conflict. Hun gedichten ontploften op de pagina of probeerden in klassieke vormen de chaos te bedwingen. In deze bloemlezing worden de 100 beste gedichten uit de Grote Oorlog samengebracht. Naast de bekende war poets als Rupert Brooke en Siegfried Sassoon zijn ook Nobelprijswinnaars Rabin dra nath Tagore en W.B. Yeats opgenomen en Nederlandse dichters als Herman Gorter en Paul van Ostaijen. Boegbeelden van de internationale avant-garde Guillaume Apollinaire en Vladimir Majakovski staan naast reuzen uit de moderne poezie als Rainer Maria Rilke en Anna Achmatova. Samen geven ze een aangrijpend en rijk geschakeerd beeld van een oorlog die ons blijvend bezighoudt.

Justice et politique ressemblent parfois à un couple mal assorti sous le signe de l’arbitraire du tyran du xive siècle, ou sous le regard ironique de La Fontaine… La politique nous ferait-elle désespérer de la justice, au bruit des fusillades de Ney ou des Poilus de 1914 ? Peut-on se consoler avec l’image du procès en musique ou en littérature ? Peut-on excuser le passé en regardant les efforts de ces républicains de 1852 ou de ceux du Garde des sceaux Jean Cruppi ?
