Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

Looking at the way sacrifice, service, and the commemoration of war are represented in literary works, this book argues that iterations of a notion of national identity work to counter current anxieties about the stability of the nation-state, in particular about the failure of the ideal of a national "character."
