Modernism, History and the First World War

0/5 ( ratings)

This is a study of the relationships between modernist fiction, the First World War, and cultural history. How did modernist writers bear witness to the trauma of the war? Drawing upon medical journals, newspapers, propaganda, military histories, and other writings of the day, Modernism, History, and the First World War reads well-known writers such as Woolf, HD, Ford, Faulkner, Kipling, and Lawrence alongside fiction and memoirs of soldiers and nurses who served in the war. Reading these works together, Tate argues that the critical distinction between "modernism" and "war writing" begins to dissolve, and modernism after 1914 emerges as a strange but important form of war writing. Above all, this book argues that modernism was profoundly engaged with its own troubled history.
