National Poetry, Empires and War considers national poetry, and its glorification of war, from ancient to modern times, in a series of historical, social and political perspectives. Starting with the Hebrew Bible and Homer and moving through the Crusades and examples of subsequent empires, this book has much on pre-modern national poetry but focuses chiefly on post-1789 poetry which emerged from the weakening and collapse of empires, as the idealistic liberalism of nationalism in the age of Byron, Whitman, D'Annunzio, Yeats, Bialik, and Kipling was replaced by darker purposes culminating in World War I and the rise of fascism. Many national poets are the subject of countless critical and biographical studies, but this book aims to give a panoramic view of national poetry as a whole. It will be of great interest to any scholars of nationalism, Jewish Studies, history, comparative literature, and general cultural studies"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 325-348) and index. 650 0 $a Poetry $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Nationalism in literature. 650 0 $a War and literature. 650 7 $a LITERARY CRITICISM / Poetry. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a LITERARY CRITICISM / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / Military / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Nationalism in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01033899 650 7 $a Poetry. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01067691 650 7 $a War and literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01170442 650 7 $a Lyrik. $0 (DE-588)4036774-5 $2 gnd 650 7 $a Nationalismus. $0 (DE-588)4419039-6 $2 gnd 650 7 $a Krieg. $0 (DE-588)4136410-7 $2 gnd 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 830 0 $a Routledge interdisciplinary perspectives on literature ; $v 32. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180118071727.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826104446.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=91758EB0246D11E5A97E42B6DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
