In recent decades, there has been a marked tendency to look at war
literature from a perspective that reaches beyond the experiences
of particular nations. Characteristically, though poetry and prose
from Poland, Hungary and fomer Czechoslovakia are included in
multiantional anthologies, the war literatures of Eastern Europe
seem to have been ignored in critical studies. The Myth of War in
British and Polish Poetry. 1939-1945 aims to fill in this critical
vacuum. This study concentrates on the processes through which
British and Polish poetry contributed to the shaping of myths of
war, each offering creative interpretations of historical facts and
developments. Both poetic traditions are analysed in the context of
their national literary heritage and historical background in order
to explain the discrepancies characterising these imaginative
versions of war. Yet, the ultimate objective is to discover spheres
of convergence within a network of differences. This comparative
analysis of British and Polish war poetry paves the way for
discussions about the relationships between national and individual
experiences of history, inviting consideration of how seemingly
unsurpassable borders can be crossed. Contents: Survey of the
developments in British and Polish poetry of the First World
War--The creation of national myths of war and their impact on
post-1918 literature--British and Polish poetry of the Second World
War--The myth of war and the myth of the wartime generation--The
impact of the British and Polish myths of war on post-1945 poetry.
