As such, this book naturally concerns itself with the formal aspects of artistic war representation. But rather than merely endeavoring to illustrate how American writers from various backgrounds chose to depict World War I, the present work seeks to uncover the particular ideologies and political practices that inform these representational choices. To this end, Embattled Home Fronts examines both canonized and marginalized US American World War I novels within the context of contemporaneous debates over shifting class, gender, and race relations. The book contends that American literary representations of the Great War are shaped less by universal insights into modern society?s self-destructiveness than by concerted efforts to fashion class-, gender-, and race-specific experiences of warfare in ways that stabilize and heighten political group identities. In moving beyond the customary focus on ironic war representations, Embattled Home Fronts illustrates that the representational and ideological battles fought within American World War I literature not only shed light on the emergence of powerful identity-political concepts such as the New Woman and the New Negro, but also speak to the reappearance of utopian, communitarian, and social protest fictions in the early 1930's. This study Embattled Home Fronts provides a new understanding of the relationship between war literature and home front politics that should be of interest to students and scholars working from a variety of disciplines and perspectives 410 0$aCosterus ;$vnew ser., v. 179. 606 $aAmerican fiction$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAmerican literature$y20th century$xPolitical aspects 606 $aAmerican literature$y20th century$xSocial aspects 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$xLiterature and the war$xPolitical aspects$zUnited States 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$xLiterature and the war$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 615 0$aAmerican fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAmerican literature$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aAmerican literature$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918$xLiterature and the war$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918$xLiterature and the war$xSocial aspects 676 $a813.5209 700 $aPiep$b Karsten H$g(Karsten Helge),$f1968-$01540550 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782840303321 996 $aEmbattled home fronts$93792275 997 $aUNINA
