About the Book

In Great Britain, discussions of the Coronavirus pandemic have frequently been intertwined with references to the Second World War. Such allusions are to be found in political speeches, journalistic accounts and opinion pieces; they are also replete in the cultural sphere. Bringing together scholars from a range of disciplines, this comprehensive volume seeks to evaluate the uses (and abuses) of this rhetoric. The result is a multifaceted meditation on Britain's response to the pandemic.

About the Author :
Joanne Pettitt is a Lecturer in Comparative Literature at the University of Kent. She is the secretary of the British Association of Holocaust Studies and a member of the executive board of the European Association of Holocaust Studies. She is also co-editor-in-chief of Holocaust Studies: A Journal of Culture and History. Joanne's work focuses on representations of Holocaust perpetrators in literature and her first monograph - Perpetrators in Narratives of the Holocaust: Encountering the Nazi Beast - was published in June 2017. She is currently working on a comparative study on the uses of Nazism in representations of the British far right.

Review :
«This challenging and controversial volume should give all of us pause for thought. Some contemporary political voices seem to want us to believe that the past is fixed and stable, but the essays presented here remind us that the past is as radically unstable as our future.» (Professor Tom Lawson, Northumbria University) «In its lively examination of the myriad ways in which the Second World War has been frequently referenced in the current pandemic, Covid-19, the Second World War, and the Idea of Britishness makes a fascinating and important contribution to the scholarship on the war's cultural memory. A truly enlightening collection and a must read.» (Professor Juliette Pattinson, University of Kent)
