Abstract

Aesthetics Authorship Cage, John Cosmopolitanism Dickens, Charles (1812-1870) Fascism Ideology Joyce, James (1882-1941) Modernism Nationalism Novels Politics Readers Unsworth, Barry (1930-2012) War World War II Writers
Zoě Roth discusses how the American author John Littell in his French novel, The Kindly Ones, uses image as well as text to create links between World World II, the Algerian War, the Vietnam War, and 9/11. Steve Ellis's British Writers and the Approach of World War II deals with the way canonical nineteenth-century and modernist authors, in their mix of skepticism and support for liberalism, can teach contemporary readers to think in nuanced ways about political issues.
