In British tradition, the World War I is almost invariably accompanied by the epithet "Great." This war's memory is passed down from generation to generation, living in family archives and museum collections. However, British views on the Great War have evolved over the course of a century. The article examines how, among intellectual and political elite, the perception of the WWI has been changing and correlating with domestic and world developments.
