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. 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 thought, feared, and hoped for during these momentous years. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 600 10 Slater, Gilbert,|d1864-1938|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n50013008|vCorrespondence.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001488 600 17 Slater, Gilbert,|d1864-1938.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/3960 647 7 World War|d(1914-1918)|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast /1180746 648 7 20th century|2fast 648 7 1900-1999|2fast 650 0 World War, 1914-1918|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85148236|vPersonal narratives, British.|0https: //id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001715 650 0 World War, 1914-1918|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85148236|xSocial aspects|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh00002758|zEngland|zOxfordshire. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n81006934-781 650 0 War and families|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh95007145|zEngland|zOxfordshire|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n81006934-781|xHistory|y20th century. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002006165 650 7 War and families.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1733890 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 HISTORY|zEurope|xWestern.|2bisacsh 650 7 Social aspects.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1354981 651 7 England|zOxfordshire.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1211493 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Correspondence.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 2003288 655 7 Personal narratives|vBritish.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1424087 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 655 7 Personal correspondence.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1919948 655 7 Personal correspondence.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/genreForms/gf2014026141 700 1 Bonfiglioli, Margaret.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/nr2001047502 700 1 Munson, James.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n84222134 776 08 |iPrint version:|tFull of hope and fear.
