Catching the Torch: Contemporary Canadian Literary Responses to World War I

By Neta Gordon

Book Overview

Looking at the way sacrifice, service, and the commemoration of war are represented in literary works, this book argues that iterations of a notion of national identity work to counter current anxieties about the stability of the nation-state, in particular about the failure of the ideal of a national "character."
