| 520 | |a "This book examines the myriad identities and portrayals of Edith Cavell, as they have been constructed and handed down by propagandists, biographers and artists. Cavell was first introduced to the British public through a series of Foreign Office statements which claimed to establish the 'facts' of her case. Her own voice, along with those of her family, colleagues and friends, was muted, as a monolithic image of a national heroine and martyr emerged. The book identifies two main areas of tension in her commemoration: firstly, the contrast betwen complexity of her own behaviour and motivations and the simplicity of the 'Cavell Legend' that was constructed around her; and secondly, the mismatch between the attempts of individuals and professional organisations to commemorate her life and work, and the public construction of a 'heroine' who could be of value to the nation state"--Back cover. | ||
