The Literature of the Great War Reconsidered de P. Quinn

The Literature of the Great War Reconsidered: Beyond Modern Memory

P. Quinn

S. Trout

This definitive volume will profoundly alter our understanding of the literature of the Great War. New critical approaches have, over the last two decades, redefined the term 'war literature' and its cultural legacy. Consisting, in equal measure, of essays by male and female scholars (from several different countries), and devoted to both familiar and lesser-known works, this book presents the many faces of Great War literary study at the millennium.
