Although other critics have described the particular ways in which modernist writers have represented war and violence, Marina MacKay makes this topic new in her comprehensive and generative study, Modernism, War, and Violence. In this physically concise yet intellectually expansive volume, MacKay grants her reader a panoramic view of war and violence in Anglophone literature from the fin-de-siecle to the Cold War, offering many fresh and incisive ideas along the way … It is hardly possible to overstate how useful this book would be for a graduate student seeking to gain surer footing in thinking about the continuity of twentieth-century literature. Modernism, War, and Violence is a gift to the field of literary modernism, on that we knew we needed.
