This article presents a survey of the important Anglo-American fiction of the First World War (Hemingway, etc.), with special attention given to lesser known works, including foreign authors who influenced this fiction during and after the conflict. Finally, more recent novels about the war will be approached regarding their concern with the recollection of a time one century past.
