Show transcript
The home front refers to the idea that civilians in Britain felt the impact of World War One in their daily lives.
It was common for those on the home front to feel fear and impotence whilst their loved ones were on the front line.
Brittain’s ‘Testament of Youth’ captures and expresses feelings of fear, impotence and anger during the war years.
Using contextual knowledge and inspiration from other texts can help create a convincing persona in your own writing.
