A WIDE-RANGING AND ACCESSIBLE ACCOUNT OF AMERICAN AND BRITISH POETRY, MUSIC, AND VISUAL ART BORN OF WORLD WARS I AND II. "The most extraordinary feature of this study is its amazing scope. . . . Even for readers familiar with the terrain of 20th-century English war poetry, this book contains a treasure trove of new and interesting work. The same could be said for the exhaustive scholarship brought to bear on the discussion of the literature to excellent effect. . . . Some of its inclusions are very likely to spur new interest and new research. For example, the brief discussion of Sterling Brown's poetry should make readers curious to learn more about the African American response to the First World War."--Margot Norris, author of Writing War in the Twentieth Century "It is hard for me, as a reader, to contain my praise. This study of the poetries of the great wars of the 20th century in their relation to what Stout calls the culture of mourning is comprehensive and masterful. It is immensely learned, yet readable. Most important, the book is intensely wise and humane, distilled from a career of reading and writing and meditating on the meanings of art forms and expressions."--Philip Beidler, author of Late Thoughts on an Old War: The Legacy of Vietnam
