Over There - War Scenes on the Western Front

“Over There” is a 1915 account of life on the 'Western Front' during the First World War by English writer Arnold Bennett. The Western Front was the central area of battle during the war. It was defined by a line of trenches created by both sides that stretched from the North Sea to the Swiss frontier with France and which changed little during the war. This volume will appeal to those with an interest in the First World War and especially the horrors and hardships of life for those on the front lines. Enoch Arnold Bennett (1867–1931) was an English writer. Although he is perhaps best remembered for his popular novels, Bennett also produced work in other areas including the theatre, propaganda, journalism, and film. Other notable works by this author include: “Helen with a High Hand” (1910), “The Card” (1911), and “Hilda Lessways” (1911). Contents include: “The Industrious Apprentice”, “The Zone of Paris”, “On the French Front”, “Ruins”, “At Grips”, “The British Lines”, “The Unique City”, etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with an introductory essay by F. J. Harvey Darton.
