Book Report and Review of
Literature & the Great War: 1914-1918 by Randall Stevenson
About the Author
Randall Stevenson is Professor of Twentieth-Century Literature at the University of Edinburgh. He was born in Scotland, and “grew up in Glasgow, and studied at the University of Edinburgh (astrophysics, then English Literature) and the University of Oxford” (Academic staff profiles). His research interests are grounded in modernism and post-modernism, and the Great War. Furthermore, his “[c]urrent projects include a study of the temporalities of twentieth-century fiction, due for publication by Edinburgh University Press in 2016; a chapter for the forthcoming Cambridge History of Postmodernism” (Academic staff profiles).
Overview
Literature & the Great War: 1914-1918 is a work of new historicism and postmodernism, elaborating on the traditions set forth by Paul Fussell’s The Great War and Modern Memory (1975) and Samuel Hynes’s A War Imagined (1990). Literature & the Great War, moreover, succeeds at becoming a worthy companion piece to both. Stevenson, describing postmodernist memory and the war, begins by stating, “[T]he Great War refuses to remain buried in the past, . . . because the shock, disillusion, and fractured faiths of that first, fundamental modern crisis have so long continued to shape the world in the present, from 1914 all the way to the postmodern age” (viii). Outlining his primary argument in the preface, he calls the present investigation a “[r]econsideration and recognition . . . intended to reappraise Great War literature . . . . [And t]he first of these involves fuller consideration of Great War narrative than criticism often offers, much of it finding poetry more rewarding” (ix).Read more ›
