  • AWAR of INDIVIDUALS: Bloomsbury Attitudes to the Great
    Introduction The Great War still haunts us. During the first few weeks of 1998, various British national broadsheets carried articles on recently released War Office papers dating back over eighty years and relating to the case of the celebrated First World War poet, Siegfried Sassoon. Although at times a fearless and some- times reckless warrior, known to the men who served under him as ‘Mad Jack’, Sassoon had also written powerful anti-war poetry and, though decorated for his bravery on the Western Front, had thrown his Military Cross into the river Mersey whilst on leave. According to his hitherto confidential army file, now released by the Public Records Office, the War Office had considered him ‘a lunatic’. The Indepen- dent carried with its article, which was entitled ‘Siegfried Sassoon – mad, sad or heroically confused?’, a large black and white photograph of Sassoon in his uniform. The soldier-poet stares out of the picture, as if into the future. One cannot tell from his expression whether he is about to frown or smile. Will he proffer the hand of friendship or the bayonet of hate? This was the paradox of Sassoon: that a brave, military man should write the verse that he did and also compose his famous ‘Soldier’s Declaration’ against the conduct of the war (which was printed in The Times in July 1916) but should then return to the trenches afterwards, to live or die. Was he mad? The authorities naturally thought so. Not only mad, but dangerously so – liable to influence others with his procla- mations on the conflict and its conduct.

However, War Resisters a cursory glance at the shelves of any bookshop, whether on the High Street, the Imperial War Museum or the National Archive, and a flick through the pages of the Pen and Sword catalogue would leave Cyril Pearce the very strong impression that most writers’ concerns, and their readers’ too, have been about war rather than peace. It would appear that accounts of individual heroics, memorable war leaders, battles, regimental histories and the grim technology of killing in the twentieth century, are endlessly fascinating. Yet the antithesis of all this has not gone unexplored. Indeed, for a minority, frequently ignored or banished to the margin and, by some who ought to know better, dismissed as ‘cranks’, the men and The author compiled the women who made up Britain’s 1914-18 Pearce Register of British anti-war movement have not wanted for Conscientious Objectors, historians.

The Repression and Articulation of War Experience: A Study of the Literary Culture of Craiglockhart War Hospital Anne-Catriona Schaupp Doctor of Philosophy The University of Edinburgh 2017 2 3 Abstract* Prior study of Craiglockhart War Hospital has focused on the hospital’s two most famous patients, Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon, along with the work of the psychotherapist W. H. R. Rivers. Craiglockhart’s literary culture is studied in detail for the first time in this thesis and the hospital’s therapeutic ethos used as a framework by which the creative work produced at the hospital can be examined. This thesis argues that the British Army’s lack of consensus regarding the best treatment of war neuroses facilitated the development of Craiglockhart’s expressive culture, in which patients were encouraged both to articulate their wartime memories and return to purposeful activity.
