The AGM and lecture: Consensus and Dissent in Wartime Leeds, 1914-1918
Eve Haskins explores the effect of the First World War on the home front in Leeds, using a chronological approach to uncover the influence of internal and external factors created by the conflict as it progressed. It offers an analysis of the influence of the war through the multiple foci of recruitment, grief, class, gender, and, notably, industry, in the city, which illustrates the minutiae of evidence to show that the city of Leeds was a unique and special case.
Part of the Leeds400 celebrations in 2026.
