In this first full-length study of the war veteran in literature,
Kate McLoughlin draws new critical attention to a figure central to
national life. Offering fresh readings of canonical and
non-canonical works, she shows how authors from William Wordsworth
to J. K. Rowling have deployed veterans to explore questions that
are simultaneously personal, political, and philosophical: What
does a community owe to those who serve it? What can be recovered
from the past? Do people stay the same over time? Are there right
times of life at which to do certain things? Is there value in
experience? How can wisdom be shared? Veteran Poetics features
veterans who travel in time, cause havoc with their reappearances,
solve murders, refuse to stop talking about the wars they have been
in, and refuse to say a word about them. Through this last trait,
they also prompt consideration of possible critical responses to
silence.
