Character and Mourning: Woolf, Faulkner, and the Novel Elegy of the First World War by Erin Penner
Requirements: .PDF reader, 2.2 MB
Overview: In response to the devastating trauma of World War I, British and American authors wrote about grief. The need to articulate loss inspired moving novels by Virginia Woolf and William Faulkner. Woolf criticized the role of Britain in the “war to end all wars,” and Faulkner recognized in postwar France a devastation of land and people he found familiar from his life in a Mississippi still recovering from the American Civil War. In Character and Mourning, Erin Penner shows how these two modernist novelists took on the challenge of rewriting the literature of mourning for a new and difficult era.
