WWI Website
Well, I agree somewhat with the few that commented the site to be lacking. I thought it would be a tad more interactive, but what it did offer was still quite interesting. I did go to the Propaganda page, firstly (much like my predecessors). I really just went straight for the USA posters, and wow. I was surprised...it would have been an outrage (to me, at least) had that amount been permitted in contemporary times. I really don't think I've seen that much outside of television...people don't walk as much, y'know?
Thenn...I went to the Poetry & Prose section. I wasn't familiar with half of the names on the list, but I did get a chance to reacquaint myself with a few (Housman, mainly). I wasn't sure as to why they didn't display the poetry of the authors, but rather provided a few biographical passages of them...was I doing something wrong? But I DID think the satirical British magazines were funny (I read a few paragraphs and mainly browsed through the bits of cartoons).
All in all, I liked it.
