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
