Minds at War - Fighting France

Thu, 17 Jul 14

BBC Correspondent Lyse Doucet introduces novelist Edith Wharton's reportage from wartime France. Wharton, best known for The Age Of Innocence1 and The House of Mirth, was granted unique access to the Western front and wrote one of the most evocative and undeservedly neglected accounts of life in France in World War One. In its pages, penned early in the war, are Wharton's painterly descriptions of the country's overnight transformation2 from peace to war, her deep love for France and its people, and her accounts of the destruction wrought3 upon the villages and towns in the path of the German invader4.
