Writing War, Writing Lives
British Literature in Transition, 1960–1980
This volume traces transitions in British literature brought about by the rapid, momentous and far-reaching changes of the 1960s and 1970s, illuminating a diverse range of authors, texts, genres and movements. It looks at innovations in form, considering experimental poetry, fiction and drama, and explores the literature of emergent identities in race, gender, sexuality and class. It considers changes in attitudes and in the mind itself: the grow…
Missing letters
An epistolary cache held in London's National Army Museum is notable for letters which are expected but not written. Lieutenant Edward Teasdale, deployed to Jamaica in 1807 as part of the British forces fighting the French in the Napoleonic Wars, wrote home repeatedly to his mother in Yorkshire, pleading with her to correspond with him. But he only ever received one letter from her. The lack of letters nonetheless produces a palpable sense of des…
Moments of Insight in Long Novels by Henry James and Dorothy Richardson
Henry James and Dorothy Richardson wrote long novels in response to what they perceived as a crisis in transferable experience, a crisis traced by Walter Benjamin to the First World War. The scenes under discussion may, prima facie, seem to articulate what Benjamin termed Erlebnis (experience in the raw) or Jetztzeit (‘now-time’, in which the entire history of mankind is encompassed). However, the scenes (which occur in James's The Portrait of a …
Muddy Poetics
In its appearances in English literary history, mud is associated with dirt and disgustingness, but also with vitality, insurgence and creativity. Mud in First World War poetry, however, has been most often read as figuring ontological and epistemological crisis: the taboo and the abject. Two poems about mud written by women during the First World War permit a different interpretation. In Helen Saunders's 'A Vision of Mud' (1915) and Mary Borden'…
Writing war, writing lives
War affects life writing and lives affect war writing. In the eight articles in this volume, we see forms of life writing breaking their boundaries under the pressure of war. The ways in which this
Woolf's crotchets
Virginia Woolf's To The Lighthouse (1927) is – as is well known – punctuated by a number of angular vertical marks. Within these marks, which are the square brackets known as crotchets (as opposed to the round brackets known as lunulae), certain events take place. A man, reading Virgil, blows out a candle. Another man misses his wife who has just died. A young woman gets married. She dies after childbirth. Young men are killed by a shell in a war…
Authoring War
Glamour goes to war
World War II intensified three overlapping visual experiences for women: seen (those who were the news), seeing (those who brought the news) and unseen (those who remained, because they were unrecorded or camouflaged, invisible). Most British women were unseen. Lee Miller, wartime correspondent for British Vogue, occupied all three positions in the war years. Reading her dispatches from Europe for British Vogue from 1939 to 1945, this article ass…
The Cambridge Companion to War Writing
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 in…
