“…The sound phonograph clearly had a role as a new medium of propagandist sound entertainment and communication. As illustrated propaganda travelled beyond traditional photographs to -Lantern slides, picture postcards, cigarette cards […] posters […] maps and diagrams, pictures, cartoons and drawings‖ [102] (p. 121), so sound messaging was no longer confined to an orchestral score or concert hall.…”

“…The scale of the Great War was accompanied by a similar scale of media publication. The media was as intense as the military conflict itself: -ashtrays in the shape of British tanks, gramophone recordings of political speeches and popular songs such as -Keep the Home Fires Burning‖, and a wide range of ephemera‖ [102] (p. 131). The 78 rpm discs would be spun on turntables at the front and combined with live rhetoric in siren calls -relayed across No Man's Land with musical interludes‖ [102] (p. 135).…”

The imaginative absurdity of such stunts in some ways seems like a burlesque disc-jockeying of hate hypnotism that would not be effectively represented until the surreal theatricality of Richard Attenborough's film of -Oh What A Lovely War in 1969‖ [103].…”

Sound drama production prior to the onset of the-Radio Age‖ underwent a pioneering development during the Great War. This was achieved by the making, publication and distribution of short audio dramas acted with sound effects and music in front of early microphones and released in the form of 78 rpm phonograph discs. Entertaining storytelling through dramatic performance was mobilized for the purposes of improving recruitment and disseminating patriotic endorsement recordings. This article focuses on the sound dramatization of the myth of-The Angels of Mons‖ released by Regal in 1915. The recording is examined as a text for its significance in terms of propaganda, style of audio-drama, and any cultural role it may have played in the media of the First World War. The Regal disc was an example of what was described at the time as-descriptive sketches.‖ This article explores why a sound phonograph was used to dramatize the myth that angels intervened to assist the British Expeditionary Force to resist the German Army invading France through Belgium in 1914. A number of historians have discussed the First World War as being a theatre for the first modern media war, in which the process of propaganda was modernized. To what extent does-The Angels of Mons‖ phonograph and the genre of descriptive sketches support this analysis? Does this short sound drama play have any relevance to the cultural phenomena of spiritualism, modernism and patriotic Christianity identified as being important during the Great War period?

“…In a final blow, the cosmopolitan utopianism of the Edwardians was washed away in August 1914 in a tsunami of wartime jingoism, with even authors like A. A. Milne and H. G. Wells, and the ageing Thomas Hardy, being co-opted into anti-German war propaganda, while Rudyard Kipling and John Buchan gave the world ta-ra-ra-boom-de-ay with a vengeance (Sanders & Taylor 1982;Buitenhuis 1987). The 'strange death of liberal England' and the war frenzy of 1914 rendered national chauvinism general all over Europe, including England, and served to push an isolated Irish cultural revivalism into the arms of the Fenians and the Irish Republican Brotherhood, and to give free rein to its more conservative-nationalist tendencies.…”

This article looks at the importance of the Gaelic language for the development of Irish nationalism in the decades leading up to, and following the Easter Rising of 1916. This importance was mainly symbolical: the Irish language was used mainly by revivalist activists, in a restricted number of functional registers, and largely as an enabling platform of other consciousness-raising activities. It is suggested, however, that such a symbolical instrumentalisation is by no means inconsequential and should be analysed as an important feature of cultural nationalism, not only in Irish history.

“…Folyóiratok születtek háborús tematikában különböző nyelveken; a kínai és spanyol esetében például arra is figyeltek, hogy az adott régióban milyen dialektust beszéltek. (Sanders -Taylor 1982) Az első világháborús propaganda egyik legfontosabb új eleme az atrocitás propaganda. Az antant hatalmak naturalisztikus módon a közönség elé tárták a sajtóban a németek által elkövetett atrocitásokat, ezeknek azonban egy része csak kitaláció volt.…”
