A collection of private family letters from the First World War that lay forgotten for almost ninety years; affords a unique, first-hand glimpse into the unfolding experience of the war in the life of one family and their friends- on the Home Front, on the Western Front, and in British India; transports us back to a time that is slipping tantalizingly out of living memory; brings us as near as we can ever be to understanding what people thought, feared, and hoped for in these momentous years. The First World War has survived as part of our national memory in a way no previous war has ever done. This collection of letters--which lay untouched for almost ninety years--allows a unique glimpse into the war as experienced by one family at the time, transporting us back to an era which is now slipping tantalizingly out of living memory. The Slaters--the family at the heart of these letters--lived in Oxford. Like most families, they were both typical and unique. Gilbert, the father of the family, had been headof Ruskin College in Oxford, and during the war found work as the first Professor of Indian Economics in Madras. His wife, Violet, grew to detest the war and became an increasingly vocal pacifist as the slaughter continued. Owen, their eldest son, a schoolboy in 1914, was fighting in France by war's end. In the letters they wrote to each other and their friends at this time we see how the war increasingly impacted upon each of their lives and the life of the world around them--rationing, Violet's increasing involvement in radical politics, the deaths of friends, the fear of Zeppelin raids when in London, the endless discussions between Violet and Gilbert about how to keep their son out of the trenches - and the growth of Owen from schoolboy to soldier, serving as a junior officer on the Western Front. Above all, in their privacy and immediacy, their inconsistencies and false hopes, these letters bring us as near as we can ever be to understanding what people tho ...|Books|https://wordery.com/jackets/e6f264e4/full-of-hope-and-fear-margaret-bonfiglioli-9780198707172.jpg|9780198707172|Full of Hope and Fear : Hardback : Oxford University Press : 9780198707172 : 24 Jul 2014 : A collection of First World War letters that lay forgotten for almost ninety years, allowing a unique glimpse into how the war was experienced at the time - and ...|new|1|1|1|25|0|GBP|Margaret Bonfiglioli|Oxford University Press|24 Jul 2014|First World War books 9780198707196|Mr Barry's War|20.88|https://wordery.com/mr-barrys-war-caroline-shenton-9780198707196|When the brilliant classical architect Charles Barry won the competition to build a new, Gothic, Houses of Parliament in London he thought it was the chance of a lifetime. It swiftly turned into the most nightmarish building programme of the century. From the beginning, its design, construction and decoration were a battlefield. The practical and political forces ranged against him were immense. The new Palace of Westminster had to be built on acres of unstable quicksand, while the Lords and Commons carried on their work as usual. Its river frontage, a quarter of a mile long, needed to be constructed in the treacherous currents of the Thames. Its towers were so gigantic they required feats of civil engineering and building technology never used before. And the interior demanded spectacular new Gothic features not seen since the middle ages. Rallying the genius of his collaborator Pugin; flanking the mad schemes of a host of crackpot inventors, ignorant busybodies and hostile politicians; attacking strikes, sewage and cholera; charging forward three times over budget and massively behind schedule, it took twenty-five years for Barry to achieve victory with his 'Great Work' in the face of overwhelming odds, and at great personal cost. Mr Barry's War takes up where its prize-winning prequel The Day Parliament Burned Down left off, telling the story of how the greatest building programme in Britain for centuries produced the world's most famous secular cathedral to democracy.|Books|https://wordery.com/jackets/5046b188/mr-barrys-war-caroline-shenton-9780198707196.jpg|9780198707196|Mr Barry's War : Hardback : Oxford University Press : 9780198707196 : 22 Sep 2016 : The saga of the epic battle to re-build the Houses of Parliament after the great fire of 1834, this is also the story of how the greatest construction programme in Bri ...|new|1|1|342|25|0|GBP|Caroline Shenton|Oxford University Press|22 Sep 2016|British & Irish history 9780198388135|Oxford Reading Tree Songbirds Phonics: Level 2: Fish and Chips|4.38|https://wordery.com/oxford-reading-tree-songbirds-phonics-level-2-fish-and-chips-julia-donaldson-9780198388135|Ron Rabbit is fed up with his job in Fish and Chips.
