According to historians, depictions of World War II in British literature written during the war tend to predominantly emphasize the perspective of soldiers. Contemporary fiction from the 2000s onwards has begun to re-imagine the war from the point of view of British women on the home front.[1] This project works to democratize and diversify war narratives, allowing a wider array of voices to be heard. Ultimately, it is difficult to overstate the impact that World War II had on the literature, as in all other areas of life, in Britain.[2] ________________ [1] Petra Rau, “The War in Contemporary Fiction,” The Cambridge Companion to the Literature of World War II, edited by Marina MacKay (Cambridge University Press, 2009), pp. 207.
