War and Words

Horror and Heroism in the Literature of Warfare

Ed. by Sara Munson Deats, Merry G. Perry, Lagretta Tallent Lenker

Beschreibung

War and Words is a sweeping study of the profound, painful, and most significantly, defining cultural moments. Working from Homer through to Hemingway and in all traditions, some of the nation's best scholars of literature illustrate how literature and language affect not only the present but also future generations by shaping history even as it represents it. This powerful collection affirms that the humanities remain a site of the most profound reflection on human experience and historical events that have, for better and worse, shaped world civilization.
