Beschreibung:
Margaret R. Higonnet is Professor of English and Comparative Literature at the University of Connecticut and an Affiliate at Harvard University's Center for European Studies. She is the editor of "Lines of Fire: Women Writers of World War I" and "Nurses at the Front: Writing the Wounds of the Great War."
In August 1918 Margaret Hall boarded a transport ship in New York City that would take her across the Atlantic to work with the American Red Cross in France, then in the devastating grips of the First World War. After Hall returned to the US, she wrote a memoir that she shared privately with friends and family. Published here for the first time, Hall's words offer a first-hand account of life on the Western Front in those last months of the war and its immediate aftermath.
