OverviewWar was the first subject of literature; at times, war has been its only subject. In this volume, the contributors reflect on the uneasy yet symbiotic relations of war and writing, from medieval to modern literature. War writing emerges in multiple forms, celebratory and critical, awed and disgusted; the rhetoric of inexpressibility fights its own battle with the urgent necessity of representation, record and recognition. This is shown to be true even to the present day: whether mimetic or metaphorical, literature that concerns itself overtly or covertly with the real pressures of war continues to speak to issues of pressing significance. Particular topics addressed include writings of and about the Crusades and battles during the Hundred Years War; Shakespeare's Casus Belly ; Auden's Journal of an Airman ; and War and Peace Full Product DetailsAuthor: Laura Ashe (Queen Mary, University of London) , Ian PattersonPublisher: Boydell & Brewer Imprint: Boydell & Brewer Volume: VOLUME 67 ISBN: 9781782043140ISBN 10: 1782043144 Pages: 268 Publication Date: 03 October 2014 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Book Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In Print  This item will be ordered in for you from one of our suppliers.
