Présentation de l'éditeur :
Limited by the Imperial War Graves Commission to sixty-six characters - far more restrictive than Twitter's 140-character rule- these inscriptions are masterpieces of compact emotion. But, as Sarah Wearne says, their enforced brevity means that many inscriptions rely on the reader being able to pick up on the references and allusions, or recognise the quotations - and many twenty-first-century readers don't. Consequently she has selected one hundred inscriptions from the battlefield cemeteries and by expanding the context- religious, literary or personal - she has been able to give full voice to the bereaved. This collection, the second in a short series, will be published to coincide with the centenary of the opening of the Passchendaele offensive on 31 July1917. Together with Epitaphs of the Great War The Somme, published on 1 July 2016, these books cover the epitaphs of the ordinary and the famous, the privileged and the poor, the generals and the privates and, after a hundred years, give us an insight into what contemporaries believed they had been fighting for and how they viewed the loss of the men they had loved. Published to coincide with the centenary of the opening of the Battle of Passchendaele (3rd Ypres) A complete study of these epitaphs will be published to coincide with the centenary of the Armistice in 2018
Revue de presse :
"Sarah Wearne's touching and beautifully illustrated little book of epitaphs reproduces some of the words on those headstones, not only from Tyne Cot nut other cemeteries, along with accounts of the men buried beneath them" -- The Spectator

Description du livre Hardcover. Etat : New. Inscriptions on the graves of the First World War dead were limited to 66 characters; a restriction that drove many to create compact, original and profound epitaphs, often relying on quotation or allusion. This book presents 100 headstone inscriptions for the dead of Passchendaele, giving details of the deceased, quoting the biblical or literary passages alluded to and explaining the contemporary meaning of the words, whether plain 'He did his bit', or the poetic 'While the light lasts I shall remember. Georgina'. N° de réf. du vendeur 501663
