"As Reading and the First World War demonstrates, a vast number of those involved in World War I-not only soldiers but also civilians-read avidly. ... comprises a range of essays addressing topics as varied as the reading practices of war artists behind the line; of conscientious objectors; and of Australian prisoners of war. ... the nurses and ambulance drivers who must have read, if only occasionally-ultimately Reading and the First World War contains something for everyone." (Kabi Hartman, English Literature in Transition, Vol. 60 (1), 2017) "Reading and the First World War participates in the recent digital turn and transnational turn in book history, which are also central to modernist studies. ... Reading and the First World War includes some particularly strong essays based on work in neglected archives and collections. It will be of interest not only to book historians (its explicit audience), but also to scholars of modernism." (Lise Jaillant, Modernism, modernity, Vol. 23 (2), April, 2016)
