Dr. Mary Laurents Publishes Book from her doctoral research

Dr. Mary K. Laurents (2018 LLC alumna) has published, British Identity in World War I: The Lost Boys with Rowman & Littlefield.

This book analyzes the development of the Lost Generation narrative following the First World War. The author examines narratives that illustrate the fracture of upper-class identity, including well-known examples of the Lost Generation—Robert Graves, Siegfried Sassoon, and Vera Britain—as well as other less typical cases—George Mallory and J.R.R. Tolkien—to demonstrate the effects of the First World War on British society, culture, and politics.

Congratulations!
