The Cambridge Companion to War Writing（ISBN=9780521720045） 下载 pdf 百度网盘 epub 免费 2025 电子书 mobi 在线

War writing is an ancient genre that continues to be of vital

importance. Times of crisis push literature to its limits,

requiring writers to exploit their expressive resources to the

maximum in response to extreme events. This Companion focuses on

British and American war writing, from Beowulf and Shakespeare to

bloggers on the "War on Terror." Thirteen period-based chapters are

complemented by five thematic chapters and two chapters charting

influences. This uniquely wide range facilitates both local and

comparative study. Each chapter is written by an expert in the

field and includes suggestions for further reading. A chronology

illustrates how key texts relate to major conflicts. The Companion

also explores the latest theoretical thinking on war representation

to give access to this developing area and to suggest new

directions for research. In addition to students of literature, the

volume will interest those working in war studies, history, and

cultural studies.
