Narrating the war from the window: Mildred Aldrich and the battle of the Marne
No full textLa escritora norteamericana Mildred Aldrich fue una de las primeras autoras en publicar una experiencia autobiográfica, A Hilltop on the Marne, sobre la Primera Guerra Mundial. Este artículo estudia esa obra, formada por un conjunto de cartas enviadas por Aldrich en el verano de 1914, y analiza las dificultades a las que se enfrentó la autora para describir el conflicto desde la posición privilegiada en la que se encontraba su casa, a pocos kilómetros de la batalla del Marne. Con especial atención al estudio del espacio rural en el que se encuentra la casa y al del espacio urbano de la ciudad de París, se exploran los efectos que el estallido de la guerra provocó en la cotidianeidad de la población francesa y las emociones vividas por la propia autora.The American author Mildred Aldrich was one of the first writers to publish an autobiographical account, A Hilltop on the Marne, about the First World War.
