War writing is an ancient genre that continues to be of vital
importance. Times of crisis push literature to its limits,
requiring writers to exploit their expressive resources to the
maximum in response to extreme events. This 2009 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.
