Sheffield Hallam University has established a reputation as a centre for the study of popular fiction; the English Department there runs a reading group devoted to the fiction of the first half of the twentieth century. They have fairly recently started a blog, with reports on books they have looked at, some of which are about the Great War. Recent postings deal with Ernest Raymond’s Tell England, for example and Ian Hay’s Carrying On.
The blog is well worth looking at, and can be found at: http://reading19001950.wordpress.com/
