"My 'Little Bit'" by Marie Corelli is a compilation of essays and articles offering insights into the social and political landscape of the early 20th century, particularly during World War I. The book explores ideas of patriotism, offers critical views on the idea of civilization, and considers the changing roles of women during war. Corelli conveys strong anti-war sentiments and questions national identity and ethical duties. The book starts by presenting Corelli's thoughts on the state of England and challenges the assumption that society has evolved past barbarism, highlighting the inconsistencies in behavior during wartime through passionate calls for unity and patriotism. Corelli reflects on England’s past, urging readers to understand the serious consequences of their actions amidst crisis, and ultimately setting the stage for examining war's moral implications and the need for individual introspection within society.
