內容簡介: |
The literature of World War II has emerged as an accomplished,
moving, and challenging body of work, produced by writers as
different as Norman Mailer and Virginia Woolf, Primo Levi and
Ernest Hemingway, Jean-Paul Sartre and W. H. Auden. This Companion
provides a comprehensive overview of the international literatures
of the war: both those works that recorded or reflected experiences
of the war as it happened, and those that tried to make sense of it
afterwards. It surveys the writing produced in the major combatant
nations Britain and the Commonwealth, the USA, Japan, Germany,
France, Italy, and the USSR, and explores its common themes. With
its chronology and guide to further reading, it will be an
invaluable source of information and inspiration for students and
scholars of modern literature and war studies.
