The history of literature about war is marked by a fundamental
paradox: although war forms the subject of countless novels,
dramas, poems, and films, it is often conceived as indescribable.
Even as many writers strive towards an ideal of authenticity, they
maintain that no representation can do justice to the terror and
violence of war. Readings of Schiller, Kleist, Junger, Remarque,
Grass, Boll, Handke, and Jelinek reveal that stylistic and
aesthetic features, gender discourses, and concepts of agency and
victimization can all undermine a text's martial stance or its
ostensible pacifist agenda. Spanning the period from the
Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars to the recent wars in Yugoslavia
and Iraq, Elisabeth Krimmer investigates the aesthetic,
theoretical, and historical challenges that confront writers of
war.
