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. --Publisher. 000343076 650_0 $$aWar stories, English$$xHistory and criticism. 000343076 650_0 $$aWar stories, American$$xHistory and criticism. 000343076 650_0 $$aWar and literature$$zGreat Britain. 000343076 650_0 $$aWar and literature$$zUnited States. 000343076 650_0 $$aWar in literature. 000343076 7001_ $$aMcLoughlin, Catherine Mary,$$d1970- 000343076 85200 $$bgen$$hPR408.W37$$iC36$$i2009 000343076 85642 $$3Contributor biographical information$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0909/2009005858-b.html 000343076 85642 $$3Publisher description$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0909/2009005858-d.html 000343076 85641 $$3Table of contents only$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0909/2009005858-t.html 000343076 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:343076$$pGLOBAL_SET 000343076 980__ $$aBIB 000343076 980__ $$aBOOK
