In British Women Writers of World War II , Phyllis Lassner offers a challenging analysis of politicized literature in which such British women writers as Virginia Woolf, Elizabeth Bowen, Stevie Smith and Storm Jameson debated the `justness' of World War II. Lassner questions prevailing approaches to women's war writing by exploring the complex range of pacifist and activist literary forms of women who redefined such pieties as patriotism and duty and heroism and victimization.
In its rigorously researched analysis of Anglo-Jewish women writing
the Holocaust, this book highlights the necessity of their
inclusion in the evolving canon of modern British literature.
Addressing the question of why the Holocaust is still being
written, this study brings together Kindertransport writers, those
of the Second Generation and those writers who have no personal or
communal connection to the Holocaust but who have felt compelled to
testify to the painful adaptations or betrayals of refugees by the
nation which rescued so many.
In its analysis of Anglo-Jewish women writing the Holocaust, this book highlights the necessity of their inclusion in the evolving canon of modern British literature, by showing how these writers complicate theories of trauma and memory by using fantasy and the Gothic as a response to silence.
