Writers at War
Writers at War addresses the most immediate representations of the First World War in the prose of Ford Madox Ford, May Sinclair, Siegfried Sassoon and Mary Borden; it interrogates the various ways in which these writers contended with conveying their war experience from the temporal and spatial proximity of the warzone and investigates the multifarious impact of the war on the (re)development of their aesthetics. This book does not oppose these perspectives but offers a complementary approach based on close critical reading. It also interrogates to what extent these texts aligned with or challenged existing social, cultural, philosophical, and aesthetic norms.While this book is concerned with literary technique, the rich scholarship on questions of gender, trauma, and cultural studies on WWI literature serves as a foundation.
