ABSTRACT
The origins of this book began at a 2012 conference held at the Academica Belgica in Rome titled ‘Landscapes of War’. The conference was successful in exposing the range of issues in our understanding of commemoration, remembrance as sites of remembrance. In the years that followed, editors found themselves thinking about acts of remembrance (see Winter 2006), and the landscape of war as a site of commemoration. Three years later, we arrive at this book, with many of the authors involved in those initial discussions in Rome, well into the World War I centenary and the upcoming seventy-fifth anniversaries related to World War II.
