Rachel Mann

4.9/5 (26412 ratings)

Description:From Rachel Mann, Canon Poet-in-Residence at Manchester cathedral, comes a lyrical and very personal exploration of the impact of the First World War on the cultural memory, faith, and symbols of Britain. A blend of history, reflection, theology and social critique, this book explores how the rituals of memory help us process traumatic collective experiences and "search of the human', to use Munn's evocative phrase. The book considers the evolving meanings attributed to particular symbols, such as the cenotaph, the cross, the poppy, and how these cultural touchpoints continue to offer reassurance in times of social upheaval and collective anxiety. Mann also recounts the Great War's effects on her grandparents, her 1970s British childhood, and how its lingering influences helped her discover her authentic self in God and sustained her through a sex change, chronic illness, and disability.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
