Description
The early twentieth century is usually remembered as an era of rising nationalism and military hostility, culminating in the disaster of the First World War. Yet it was marked also by a vigorous campaign against war which called into question the authority of the nation state. This book explores the role of artists and writers in the formation of a modern, secular peace movement in Britain, and the impact of ideas about 'positive peace' on their artistic practice. Previous studies have focused on the violence implicit in modernism, and on the disintegration of the avant-garde in Britain at the outbreak of war, but Grace Brockington argues that 'pacifist modernism' flourished before 1914, and that it survived during the war through a network of dissident cultural communities.
