War and Words is a sweeping study of the profound, painful, and
most significantly, defining cultural moments. Working from Homer
through to Hemingway and in all traditions, some of the nation's
best scholars of literature illustrate how literature and language
affect not only the present but also future generations by shaping
history even as they represent it. This powerful collection affirms
that the humanities remain a site of the most profound reflection
on human experience and historical events that have, for better and
worse, shaped world civilization. War and Words offers students of
literature critical tools for reading literary explorations of
ambivalence toward war and provides teachers of literature a
suggested syllabus for a course that has become all too necessary
in a time when all our lives are touched by war.
