Coming Out Of War : Poetry, Grieving, And The Culture Of The World Wars

Attribution
Janis P. Stout
Publication Details
Book, University of Alabama Press, 2005
Links
Description
American and British poetry, music, and visual art born of World Wars I and II. While probing the work of such well known war poets as Rupert Brooke, Wilfred Owen, and Randall Jarrell, Stout also highlights the impact of the wars on lesser studied, but equally compelling, sources such as the music of Charles Ives and Cole Porter, Aaron Copland and Irving Berlin. A final chapter considers Benjamin Britten?s War Requiem as a culmination and embodiment of the anti-war tradition in 20th-century poetry and music, and speculates on the reasons why, despite their abundance and eloquence, these expressions of grief and opposition to war have effected so little change.

The War Complex : World War II In Our Time

Attribution
Marianna Torgovnick
Publication Details
Book, University of Chicago Press, 2005
Links
- TABLE OF CONTENTS
Description
The recent dedication of the World War II memorial and the sixtieth-anniversary commemoration of D-Day remind us of the hold that World War II still has over America’s sense of itself. Showing how different events from World War II became prominent in American cultural memory while others went forgotten or remain hidden in plain sight, The War Complex moves deftly from war films and historical works to television specials and popular magazines to define the image and influence of World War II in our time.

On The Natural History Of Destruction

Attribution
W.G. Sebald ; translated by Anthea Bell
Publication Details
Book, 1st U.S. ed, Random House, 2003
Description
In it, the acclaimed novelist examines the devastation of German cities by Allied bombardment, and the reasons for the astonishing absence of this unprecedented trauma from German history and culture. This void in history is in part a repression of things — such as the death by fire of the city of Hamburg at the hands of the RAF — too terrible to bear. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)
