From the Back Cover
*Telling tales about men* explores some of the ways in which conscientious objectors to compulsory military service were viewed and treated in England during the First World War. In doing so it considers these men's experiences, their beliefs, perceptions and actions.
Each of the six main chapters explores a different collection of ideas about objectors. Thus, they are, for example, portrayed as cowards, heroes, traitors, patriots, criminals, deviants, degenerates and upstanding, intensely moral men. Here the tales told draw upon sources ranging from diaries, government papers, tribunal records, newspapers, magazines and novels and are informed by writings from fields including literary studies, criminology, sociology and law as well as various branches of historical studies. *Telling tales about men* is essential reading for scholars in the fields of the First World War, pacifism, militarism and gender. It is also aimed at those with a general interest in the Great War and the military as well as in peace movements and pacifism."About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. Manchester. Manchester University Press. 2009. Stated first published on copyright page. No later dates shown. Hard Cover. Crown octavo 8vo. 7½" by 5" (190 mm x 126 mm). 241 pp and bibliography. Black cloth boards with silver lettering to the spine. Fifteen illustrations in the text. Book and jacket are in new condition. During the First World War and after, conscientious objectors were vilified, assaulted, imprisoned and, on occasion, executed.

Drawing on diaries, government papers, legal records, newspapers, magazines and fiction, it examines notions of masculinity and manliness, and explores the different ways in which COs were viewed: as cowards, heroes, criminals, degenerates or upstanding moral figures.
