Description

Explore the vibrant world of British entertainment during the First World War with this detailed musical history. Using a vast collection of over one thousand popular songs from the war years and approximately 150 soldiers' songs, John Mullen offers a deep look into the music that defined an era. This book examines the place of these songs within the broader history of popular music. It focuses on the specific needs, tastes, and experiences of working-class audiences who turned to this music for connection and expression. By looking past the nostalgic and rose-tinted myths often associated with music hall, Mullen provides a realistic perspective on the era. At a time when record sales and recording companies were still marginal, this study highlights how central the live show was to the cultural experience. It is an essential resource for anyone interested in the social history of music and the lived experiences of people during the Great War.
