Fighting Hardship, Keeping Hope

The Transylvanian Home Front During the Great War

This volume analyses some of the lesser-known sides of the Transylvanian home front in the years of World War I. The main discussed topics concern economic, social-cultural, and educational aspects.

This volume brings together nine studies analysing some of the lesser-known sides
of the Transylvanian home front in the years of World War I. They concern: daily
food and the difficulties in supplying the population with basic goods; the collection
of economic resources for the war; war propaganda and the role of the Church as
an instrument for promoting it; the situation of denominational schools and higher
education during the war years (the case of the Franz Joseph University in Cluj); the
role of the press and other media in the Transylvanian Saxon communities; urban
daily life during the war (the case of the city of Sibiu); the perception of the war in
Romanian parish chronicles as a less studied source pertaining to the home front
