Although "conscientious objection" has existed for a very long time in some form or other and is mainly associated to religious beliefs, it was during the First World War that the expressions "conscientious objectors" and "pacifists" shaped their meanings. Their gradual development can be traced by looking into the literature of "the Great War". This article also tries to show to what extent they influenced some writers and war poets of that time. For that reason, the article is set against the background of the importance literature had in the first decade of our century and the role played by the so-called "men of letters".
