[lbo-talk] World War as Class War

[C. G. Estabrook]

Actually, not.  Owing to the fell impress of postmodernism, the sort of question
Anderson asked appeared rarely if at all in scholarship after the '70s.  But now
that po-mo is thoroughly over, it can be posed again.  What E. B. Browning said
of Europe after Napoleon could be applied to historical studies:

   "And kings crept out again to feel the sun."
