On the one hand, it brought an end to a sense of optimism and decency bred by the prosperity of nineteenth-century Europe. On the other, it brought forth a sense of futility and alienation that has since pervaded European thought. That cataclysmic experience is richly reflected in the work of writers and artists from both sides of the conflict, and this study provides a detailed analysis of two basic themes -- death and degradation -- that mark the literature about the war.From their accounts most 606 $aEuropean literature$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aItalian literature$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$xLiterature and the war 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$xPsychological aspects 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$xMoral and ethical aspects 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEuropean literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aItalian literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918$xLiterature and the war. 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918$xMoral and ethical aspects. 676 $a809/.93354 700 $aBonadeo$b Alfredo$0299648 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460442003321 996 $aMark of the beast$92465547 997 $aUNINA
