Description
This course analyses the ways in which cultural forms such as novels, plays, essays, poetry, film and memorials represent the experience of war and, in doing so, transform it. It goes on to examine the various effects of these transformations in the personal, cultural and political spheres. From year to year, different wars and cultures may be chosen as the primary focus, and the course may range from the so-called home front during the war in question to its cultural aftermath.
