Book Description
Alice (b. 1874) and Claude (b. 1865) Askew were a husband and wife team of British authors who working together wrote more than ninety novels, published between 1904 and 1918, and died together in 1917, when their ship was sunk by torpedoes from a German submarine, just south of Corfu in Italy. During World War I they had traveled on the continent of Europe writing books and articles about the war conditions there and became involved in raising funds to help Serbia. Their book, "The Stricken Land: Serbia As We Saw It," published in 1916, was the result of their time spent living in Serbia during 1914 and 1915, accompanying the Serbian army during their retreat across the mountains from Prishtina to Alessio.

Serbia's Great War, 1914-1918
Author: Andrej Mitrović
Publisher: Purdue University Press
ISBN: 9781557534767
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 416
Book Description
Mitrovic's volume fills the gap in Balkan history by presenting an in-depth look at Serbia and its role in WWI. The Serbian experience was in fact of major significance in this war. In the interlocking development of the wartime continent, Serbia's plight is part of a European jigsaw. Also, the First World War was crucial as a stage in the construction of Serbian national mythology in the twentieth century.

Yugoslavia in the British Imagination
Author: Samuel Foster
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1350114626
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 249
Book Description
Despite Britain entering the 20th century as the dominant world power, public discourses were imbued with a cultural pessimism and rising social anxiety. Through this study, Samuel Foster explores how this changing domestic climate shaped perceptions of other cultures, and Britain's relationship to them, focusing on those Balkan territories that formed the first Yugoslavia from 1918 to 1941. Yugoslavia in the British Imagination examines these connections and demonstrates how the popular image of the region's peasantry evolved from that of foreign 'Other' to historical victim - suffering at the hand of modernity's worst excesses and symbolizing Britain's perceived decline. This coincided with an emerging moralistic sense of British identity that manifested during the First World War. Consequently, Yugoslavia was legitimized as the solution to peasant victimization and, as Foster's nuanced analysis reveals, enabling Britain's imagined (and self-promoted) revival as civilization's moral arbiter. Drawing on a range of previously unexplored archival sources, this compelling transnational analysis is an important contribution to the study of British social history and the nature of statehood in the modern Balkans.
