NOVELISTS & PLAYWRIGHTS
who served in the
FIRST WORLD WAR ~
"We came down to the front of the Twelfth Army, back of Riga,
where gaunt and bootless men sickened in the mud
of desperate trenches; and when they saw us they started up,
with their pinched faces and flesh showing blue
through their torn clothing, demanding eagerly,
'Did you
bring anything to read!"
John Reed, Ten Days that Shook the World

NOTE: All writers featured in this section served in some capacity in the First World War
or Russian Revolution, whether in the military, medical corps, relief work, or as a war
correspondent.
A
primary source for information on these individuals is Tim Cross's The Lost Voices
of World War I (University of Iowa Press, 1988), an anthology and compendium more
comprehensive than
any collection we have seen of individuals in the arts who died in the war, but which lists
no survivors of the war. Beyond the Cross anthology, we have consulted a wide range of
sources, a full bibliographical listing of which will be provided in the near future.
A list of novelists and playwrights eventually to be found on this site is given below.
Depending
on your browser, individuals for which a separate information page already exists are shown in green,
or underlined. To access information about them, as well as books by or about them (if we have them), simply
click on their names. Individuals for which a page is not yet prepared are shown in black. Names of individuals who survived the war are preceded by a green star  . Names of those
who died in the war are preceded by a black star  . Names of those who survived the war, but who were
wounded, gassed or shell-shocked are preceded by a red cross  .
Additional writers will be added to this section on a continual basis.
