Summary

"War Period Literature" delves into how global conflicts shape human expression, using literature as a lens to understand wartime experiences. It argues that literature serves as a crucial historical record, often providing deeper insights than official accounts. For instance, the book explores how psychological theories of trauma help us understand PTSD themes in war narratives, or how political ideologies influence war representation in literature.

 
The book progresses by first establishing "war literature" as a genre, then examining specific historical periods like World War I, World War II, and the Cold War, showcasing diverse writer responses. Finally, it analyzes recurring themes such as trauma, heroism, and disillusionment. This approach reveals the unique perspectives and literary styles that emerged during each era, demonstrating literature's adaptability in capturing the impact of war on individuals and societies. It’s a valuable resource for understanding military history and the cultural impact of war.

    A fascinating mix of Christian, Buddhist, and Daoist thought presented by the original self-help guru in 1910. As Lily L Allen put it, "all his works [are] eminently practical. He never wrote theories, or for the sake of writing; but he wrote when he had a message, and it became a message only when he had lived it out in his own life, and knew that it was good. Thus he wrote facts, which he had proven by practice. "Born in Leicester, UK, to an illiterate mother in 1864, Allen's father left when he was 15 to find work in America, and was promptly murdered on arrival. After leaving school and finding work as a clerk,  Allen's writing career lasted for only a decade, from 1902-1912. In that time he wrote nineteen books about how to recognise and live the divine and virtuous life, deeply informed by both Jesus and Buddha. As he puts it in this book,"To have transcendent virtue is to enjoy transcendent felicity. The beatific blessedness which Jesus holds out is promised to those having the beatific virtues—to the merciful, the pure in heart, the peacemakers, and so on. The higher virtue does not merely and only lead to happiness, it is happiness. It is impossible for a man of transcendent virtue to be unhappy. The cause of unhappiness must be sought and found in the self-loving elements, and not in the self-sacrificing qualities. A man may have virtue, and be unhappy, but not so if he have divine virtue. Human virtue is mingled with self, and therefore with sorrow; but from divine virtue every taint of self has been purged away, and with it every vestige of misery. "
