War and violence have arguably been some of the strongest
influences on literature, but the relation is complex: more than
just a subject for story-telling, war tends to reshape literature
and culture. Modern war literature necessarily engages with
national ideologies, and this volume looks at the specificity of
how American literature deals with the emotional, intellectual,
social, political, and economic contradictions that evolve into and
out of war. Raising questions about how American ideals of
independence and gender affect representations of war while also
considering how specifically American experiences of race and class
interweave with representations of combat, this book is a rich and
coherent introduction to these texts and critical debates.
