Popular literature with its penchant for predictable storylines, melodramatic prose, and patriotic rhetoric has been much-maligned or at the very least ignored. \u003cem\u003eBoys in Khaki, Girls in Print\u003c\/em\u003e redresses the balance. It turns the spotlight on the novels and memoirs of women writers--many of whom are now virtually forgotten--that appealed to a British reading public hungry for amusement, news, and above all, encouragement in the face of uncertainty and grief. The writers of 1914-18 had powerful models for interpreting their war, as a consideration of texts from the Anglo-Boer War of 1899-1902 shows. They were also bolstered by wartime publishing practices that reinforced the sense that their books, whether fiction or non-fiction, were not simply \"light\" entertainment but powerful agents of propaganda. Generously illustrated, \u003cem\u003eBoys in Khaki, Girls in Print\u003c\/em\u003e is a scholarly yet accessible illumination of a hitherto untapped resource of women's writing and is an important new contribution to the study of the literature of the Great War.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jane Potter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0199279861\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199279869\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Clarendon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/08\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.09lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.75d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2006 pg. 1827","brand":"Jane Potter","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47420246491391,"sku":"9780199279869","price":77.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1242914a-dd5f-465c-812f-6a05e3ce90b9.jpg?v=1761525924","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/boys-in-khaki-girls-in-jane-potter-9780199279869","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
