An English Governess in the Great War: The SEcret Brussels Diary of Mary Thorp
De Schaepdrijver, Sophie (Professor of History, Professor of History, Pennsylvania State University)
Mary Thorp, an English governess working for a Belgian-Russian family in German-occupied Brussels, kept a secret war diary from September 1916 to January 1919. This long-forgotten diary sheds light on an important aspect of the First World War: civilian life under military occupation in a transnational conflict.
