Book review: "National myth and the First World War in modern popular music" by Peter Grant

Abstract

Peter Grant has gathered together and studied meticulously a large number of popular songs from a wide variety of genres in several countries, which speak of the First World War., and he has shown that such songs are more common since the beginning of the new milennium. From chanson to punk to Flanders and Swan, he gives an account of the different ways they treat the theme, treatments which, naturally, are more rooted in the imaginary-emotional musical worlds artistes are providing for their listeners than in attempts to transmit historical knowledge of the Great War.
