War No More: The Antiwar Impulse in American Literature, 1861-1914 Hardcover - 2010
by Cynthia Wachtell
From the rear cover
"Wachtell's work is an important contribution to American studies, combining a crucial literary and historical perspective." -- Library Journal
"An astute and eminently readable study that sheds much-needed light on the American antiwar literature produced in the five decades between the Civil War and the Great War." -- American Literature"War No More upends the standard chronology of American antiwar literature, showing that American writers routinely questioned the morality and sanity of warfare decades earlier than most scholars have imagined." -- Register of the Historical Kentucky Society
Until now, scholars have portrayed America's antiwar literature as an outgrowth of World War I, manifested in the writings of Ernest Hemingway and John Dos Passos. But in War No More, Cynthia Wachtell traces the steady rise of antiwar writing in American literature from the Civil War to the eve of World War I. The authors examined include Herman Melville, Walt Whitman, John William De Forest, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Ambrose Bierce, Stephen Crane, Mark Twain, William Dean Howells, William James, Theodore Roosevelt, and others. War No More concludes by charting the development of antiwar literature from World War I to the present, thus offering the first comprehensive overview of one hundred and fifty years of American antiwar writing.Details
