Part of a scholarship that seeks to undo Willa Cather's longstanding reputation as a writer who remained aloof from the cultural issues of her day, this chronologically arranged collection demonstrates that Cather found the subject of war both unavoidable, because of her position in history, and artistically irresistible.

La littérature française contemporaine porte un vif intérêt au déchiffrement de la guerre sous la paix, à l’histoire des conflits sanglants du XXe siècle et de leurs séquelles pour la vie civile. Elle dépasse la vue partielle de l’histoire nationale et rétablit le lien rompu avec celle de la période coloniale. Les protagonistes des textes de Maurice Attia, de Mathias Énard, de Jérôme Ferrari, de Laurent Gaudé, d’Alexis Jenni, de Laurent Mauvignier et de Wajdi Mouawad sont bien souvent des vétérans, des revenants qui tardent à vraiment ‘revenir’ de la guerre. La monographie cherche à explorer les modalités narratives qui permettent aux auteurs d’adresser les traumatismes et d’entamer le travail de mémoire. Contemporary French literature is acutely interested in peacetime attempts to make sense of war, in the history of the bloody conflicts of the twentieth century and their repercussions on civilian life. It goes beyond the partial view of national history and restores the broken link to the history of the colonial era. Many of the characters of Maurice Attia, Mathias Énard, Jérôme Ferrari, Laurent Gaudé, Alexis Jenni, Laurent Mauvignier and Wajdi Mouawad are veterans, returnees who have trouble really ‘returning’ from war. This monograph aims to explore the narrative methods that allow the authors to address traumas and begin the work of memory.

Across the twentieth century, the Russian literary hero remained central to Russian fiction and frequently "battled" one enemy or another, whether on the battlefield or on a civilian front. War was the experience of the Russian people, and it became a dominant trope to represent the Soviet experience in literature as well as other areas of cultural life. This book traces those war experiences, memories, tropes, and metaphors in the literature of the Soviet and post-Soviet period, examining the work of Dmitry Furmanov, Fyodor Gladkov, Alexander Tvardovsky, Emmanuil Kazakevich, Vera Panova, Viktor Nekrasov, Alexander Solzhenitsyn, Vladimir Voinovich, Sergei Dovlatov, Vladimir Makanin, Viktor Astafiev, Viktor Pelevin, and Vasily Aksyonov. These authors represented official Soviet literature and underground or dissident literature; they fell into and out of favor, were exiled and returned to Russia, died at home and abroad. Most importantly, they were all touched by war, and they reacted to the state of war in their literary works.
