Times of crisis push literature to its limits, requiring writers to exploit their expressive resources to the maximum in response to extreme events. This Companion focuses on British and American war writing, from Beowulf and Shakespeare to bloggers on the 'War on Terror'. Thirteen period-based chapters are complemented by five thematic chapters and two chapters charting influences. This uniquely wide range facilitates both local and comparative study. Each chapter is written by an expert in the field and includes suggestions for further reading. A chronology illustrates how key texts relate to major conflicts. The Companion also explores the latest theoretical thinking on war representation to give access to this developing area and to suggest new directions for research. In addition to students of literature, the volume will interest those working in war studies, history, and cultural studies. 410 0$aCambridge companions to literature. 606 $aWar stories, English$xHistory and criticism 606 $aWar in literature 606 $aWar and literature$zUnited States 606 $aWar and literature$zGreat Britain 606 $aWar stories, American$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aWar stories, English$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aWar in literature. 615 0$aWar and literature 615 0$aWar and literature 615 0$aWar stories, American$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a820.9/3581 702 $aMcLoughlin$b Catherine Mary$f1970- 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996209544703316 996 $aThe Cambridge companion to war writing$92493848 997 $aUNISA 999 $aThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
