How was this phenomenon interrogated and deconstructed in the period's literature? Be a Good Soldier initiates conversation on the figure of the child in modernist novels, investigating the demand for emotional suppression as manifested later in cruelty and aggression in adulthood. Jennifer Margaret Fraser provides sophisticated close readings of key works by Joseph Conrad, Virginia Woolf, and James Joyce, among others who share striking concerns about the concept of infantry - both as a collection of infants, and as foot soldiers of war. A phenomenon associated traditionally with Freud, Fraser instead uses a unique, Derridean theoretical prism to provide new ways of understanding modernist concerns with power dynamics, knowledge, and meaning. Be a Good Soldier establishes a pioneering, nuanced vocabulary for further historical and cultural inquiries into modernist childhood"--Publisher description 606 $aEnglish fiction$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aChildren in literature 606 $aGrief in literature 606 $aGrief in children 615 0$aEnglish fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aChildren in literature. 615 0$aGrief in literature. 615 0$aGrief in children. 676 $a823/.912093523 700 $aFraser$b Jennifer Margaret$f1966-$01542051 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790243003321 996 $aBe a good soldier$93794513 997 $aUNINA
