In this provocative study, Hazel Hutchison takes a fresh look at
the roles of American writers in helping to shape national opinion
and policy during the First World War. From the war's opening
salvos in Europe, American writers recognized the impact the war
would have on their society and sought out new strategies to
express their horror, support, or resignation. By focusing on the
writings of Henry James, Edith Wharton, Grace Fallow Norton, Mary
Borden, Ellen La Motte, E. E. Cummings, and John Dos Passos,
Hutchison examines what it means to be a writer in wartime,
particularly in the midst of a conflict characterized by censorship
and propaganda. Drawing on original letters and manuscripts, some
never before seen by researchers, this book explores how the
essays, poetry, and novels of these seven literary figures
influenced America's public view of events, from August 1914
through the Paris Peace Conference of 1919, and ultimately set the
literary agenda for later, more celebrated texts about the war.
