When Pat Barker was published in 2002, it was the first study to
investigate this award-winning and popular writer's fiction in a
sustained way. This updated second edition coincides with the
centenary of the First World War, a major preoccupation from Liza's
England through the Regeneration Trilogyto Toby's Room. Many of
Barker's stories balance on the serrated edges of the military
experience as she depicts it, to include bombs, bullets and
bayonets but also psychological pressures of conscience and class
under which soldiers struggle, and debates over how to represent
war in which painters, journalists and writers engage. A creative
spur to other writers, Barker's work is also a primary source for
filmmakers. Barker's leading critic, Monteith has interviewed the
author about her work over three decades. Here she positions Barker
as a supremely contemporary novelist: when she intervenes
imaginatively in history, Barker speaks to present concerns over
culture and memory.
