The First World War dramatically altered the relationship between literature and the world; it still inspires literary and cinematographic creations today. The studies collected here focus on the way in which authors, and in particular French authors, have lived through, considered, and represented the Great War over the past hundred years.

Romain Vignest, the holder of an agregation in classical literature and a doctorate from Paris-Sorbonne University, has published Victor Hugo et les poetes latins (Paris, 2011). The president of the Association of teachers of literature, he has directed La Langue francaise et la Mediterranee (Paris, 2010), Enseigner les humanites (Paris, 2010), La France et les lettres (Paris, 2012). He is also interested in French-language African literature. Jean-Nicolas Corvisier studied history and classical literature. The holder of an agregation in history and a doctorate, a university professor, and the honorary president of the French commission of military history, he focuses on demographic and cultural history and the study of war, principally in Greek Antiquity. He has published Philippe II de Macedoine (Paris, 2002), and Les Grecs et la mer (Paris, 2008).
