What is the war literature? Literature in World War I is generally thought to include poems, novels and drama; diaries, letters, and memoirs are often included in this category as well. American literature was greatly impacted during the Civil War era of 1861-1865. With many literary artists involved and interested in the war, they used the war's inspiration in their writing and helped readers to relate to the war better and understand its challenges. Authors and Poets found great inspiration in the brutal and gory battle scenes or created their own nonfiction stories based on things they knew or had heard of from the battle scenes. Many artists even witnessed the battles or lost family and friends during the war. Some chose to bring out the war's romantic side, while others chose the somber more gruesome side.
Who are they and why are they famous? George Orwell, was an English author and journalist. His work is marked by keen intelligence and wit, a profound awareness of social injustice, an intense opposition to totalitarianism, a passion for clarity in language and a belief in democratic socialism. Orwell wrote literary criticism, poetry, fiction and polemical journalism. He is best known for the dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949) and the allegorical novella Animal Farm (1945), which together have sold more copies than any two books by any other 20th-century author. His book Homage to Catalonia (1938), an account of his experiences in the Spanish Civil War, is widely acclaimed, as are his numerous essays on politics, literature, language and culture. In 2008, The Times ranked him second on a list of “The 50 greatest British writers since 1945″.
Aldous Huxley was a British writer. He was born on July 26, 1894 and died on November 22, 1963. He would become most specifically known to the public for his novels, and especially his fifth one, Brave New World, written in 1931 and published in 1932. Aldous Huxley was born on July 26th 1894 in Godalming in the Surrey county in southern England. He would be the son of the English schoolteacher and writer Leonard Huxley (1860 - 1933) and of Julia Arnold (1862 - 1908). More than literature, however, Aldous Huxley would in fact be born into a family of renowned scientists, with two of his three brothers, Julian and Andrew, who would be eminent biologists and a grandfather, Thomas Henry Huxley, who would be a famous, controversial naturalist in his time, nicknamed as “Darwin’s Bulldog”.
With his most famous pieces of fiction, Animal Farm and 1984, Orwell gave a brave, unique insight to a conflicted audience of a rapidly changing time. While the people’s opinions were tangled in the confusion of communism, propaganda and totalitarianism, this man gave a voice for the intellectualists and urged people to “go against the prevailing wisdom” (Rodden 217).
He was a well-known writer, essayist and screenwriter. He wrote his fist novel at the age of 17, the novel was never published though. His first published novel "Crome Yellow" was a satirical work on social issues. Besides editing the magazine "Oxford Poetry", he also wrote short stories, poetry and created scripts for some Hollywood films. But he could not achieve success in Hollywood. In his later life, parapsychology and philosophical mysticism dominated most of his writings
Today his early literary novels are still studied, though not read by the intelligent general public as they once were. In some ways this is too bad, as the concerns that his "novels of ideas" raised are still with us. However his characters' statement of those ideas is somewhat dated and their aristocratic and artistic milieus are difficult to identify with today. If you can get past that though, you may find his best novels quite provocative—and viciously funny in places.
The horrors of World War I (1914-19), with its accompanying atrocities and senselessness became the catalyst for the Modernist movement in literature and art. Modernist authors felt betrayed by the war, believing the institutions in which they were taught to believe had led the civilized world into a bloody conflict. They no longer considered these institutions as reliable means to access the meaning of life, and therefore turned within themselves to discover the answers. Literature was a predominantly English genre of fiction writing, popular from the 1910s into the 1960s. Modernist literature came into its own due to increasing industrialization and globalization. New technology and the horrifying events of both World Wars.
Aldous Leonard Huxley (26 July 1894 – 22 November 1963) was an English writer). He became deeply concerned that human beings might become subjugated through the sophisticated use of the mass media or mood-altering drugs, or tragically impacted by misunderstanding or the misapplication of increasingly sophisticated technology. Huxley later became interested in spiritual subjects such as parapsychology and philosophical. He is also well known for his use of psychedelic drugs. He also worried about the dangers that threatened sanity. In 1958, he published Brave New World Revisited, a set of essays on real-life problems and ideas you'll find in the novel--overpopulation, over organization, and psychological techniques from salesmanship to hypnopaedia, or sleep-teaching. They're all tools that a government can abuse to deprive people of freedom, an abuse that Huxley wanted people to fight.
