This edited volume will investigate the impact of proximity and distance in relation to the battlefront during and after the First World War. International in scope, this book will be an important contribution towards engaging with the various challenges that different nations faced during the war through an investigation of how physical and temporal proximity or distance to the battle-front impacted upon belligerent and non-belligerent countries and peoples.

Interested authors are invited to submit a short resume and a 400-word proposal to the editors, Dr. Emily Robertson (E.Robertson@adfa.edu.au) and Dr. Romain Fathi (romain.fathi@sciencespo.fr) by 30 April 2017. At this stage, a Series Editor from an academic publishing house has expressed interest in publishing our edited volume.

Submission of completed chapters is expected by 30 November 2017. More details will be provided to selected authors by mid-May. Chapters must be original work (not published or submitted elsewhere) and will be a maximum of 7000 words (including referencing).
