| Summary | "A War-time Journal" by Lady Jephson is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the author's experiences while detained in Germany during the onset of World War I, providing a detailed and personal perspective on the chaos, emotions, and social dynamics faced by civilians in a nation at war. The opening of the journal introduces the reader to Lady Jephson's life in Altheim, Germany, as she documents her bewildering experience following the declaration of war. She captures the fervor of the local populace as reservists leave for battle, and her own sense of disorientation as she finds herself cut off from communication and money. Caught between rising nationalist sentiments and her own status as a foreigner, she reflects on the stark change in attitudes towards English people and the growing animosity against them, which deeply impacts her daily life. Lady Jephson vividly portrays this mounting tension, providing a snapshot of her reality as an Englishwoman in a hostile environment during the war's early days.
