American Writers and World War I by David A Rennie
This volumes explores how author's war writing was shaped by their personal and professional lives and it studies works by Edith Wharton, Ellen La Motte, Mary Borden, Thomas Boyd, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Laurence Stallings, and Ernest Hemingway.
We must thank David ARennie for this thoroughly researched work, which keeps eliciting the reader's curiosity chapter after chapter and no doubt constitutes a valuable contribution to the vast literature on American writers' narratives of the Great War. Meticulously detailed, Rennie's book is always very clearly referenced and provides systematic evidence to back up its author's claims. * Lucie Jammes, CERCLES *
Highly Recommended. * K.B. Hannel, Saint Leo University, CHOICE *
Rennie's book provides a useful overview of seven authors with different experiences of the war and at different stages in their careers, united by their multifaceted and evolving responses to the conflagration. It will enable readers to have a broader appreciation of that part of the American literary community which was, like Wharton, intensely engaged with the war and its impact, and, more importantly, it will encourage readers to make further comparisons. * Maureen E. Montgomery, Edith Wharton Review *
