| Beschreibung: | Includes bibliographical references (p. 229-248) and index In Writing After War, John Limon develops a theory of the relationship of war in general to literature in general, in order to make sense of American literary history in particular. Applying the work of war theorists Carl von Clausewitz and Elaine Scarry, John Limon argues that The Iliad inaugurates Western literature on the failure of war to be duel-like, to have a beautiful form. War's failure is literature's justification. American literary history is demarcated by wars, as if literary epochs, like the history of literature itself, required bloodshed to commence. But in chapters on periods of literary history from realism, generally taken to be a product of the Civil War, through modernism, usually assumed to be a prediction or result of the Great War, up to postmodernism which followed World War II and spanned Vietnam, Limon argues that, despite the looming presence of war in American history, the techniques that define these periods are essentially ways of not writing war. From James and Twain, through Fitzgerald, Faulkner, and even Hemingway, to Pynchon, our national literary history is not hopelessly masculinist, Limon argues.; Instead, it arrives naturally at Bobbie Ann Mason and Maxine Hong Kingston. Kingston brings the discussion full circle: The Woman Warrior, like The Iliad, appears to condemn the fall from duel to war that is literature's endless opening |

Applying the work of war theorists Carl von Clausewitz and Elaine Scarry, John Limon argues that The Iliad inaugurates Western literature on the failure of war to be duel-like, to have a beautiful form. War's failure is literature's justification. American literary history is demarcated by wars, as if literary epochs, like the history of literature itself, required bloodshed to commence. But in chapters on periods of literary history from realism, generally taken to be a product of the Civil War, through modernism, usually assumed to be a prediction or result of the Great War, up to postmodernism which followed World War II and spanned Vietnam, Limon argues that, despite the looming presence of war in American history, the techniques that define these periods are essentially ways of not writing war. From James and Twain, through Fitzgerald, Faulkner, and even Hemingway, to Pynchon, our national literary history is not hopelessly masculinist, Limon argues.; Instead, it arrives naturally at Bobbie Ann Mason and Maxine Hong Kingston. Kingston brings the discussion full circle: The Woman Warrior, like The Iliad, appears to condemn the fall from duel to war that is literature's endless opening Geschichte 1900-2000 Geschichte 1800-1900 Geschichte 1865-1990 gnd rswk-swf LITERARY CRITICISM / American / General bisacsh War stories, American History and criticism American fiction 20th century History and criticism American fiction 19th century History and criticism Postmodernism (Literature) United States Realism in literature Kriegsroman (DE-588)4128226-7 gnd rswk-swf Krieg (DE-588)4033114-3 gnd rswk-swf Krieg Motiv (DE-588)4136410-7 gnd rswk-swf Roman (DE-588)4050479-7 gnd rswk-swf USA USA (DE-588)4078704-7 gnd rswk-swf USA (DE-588)4078704-7 g Roman (DE-588)4050479-7 s Krieg Motiv (DE-588)4136410-7 s Geschichte 1865-1990 z 1\p DE-604 Krieg (DE-588)4033114-3 s 2\p DE-604 Kriegsroman (DE-588)4128226-7 s 3\p DE-604 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe, Hardcover 0-19-508758-5 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe, Paperback 0-19-508759-3 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe, Hardcover 978-0-19-508758-1 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe, Paperback 978-0-19-508759-8 http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=143858 Aggregator Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 3\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
