  1. the literature in war: maybe was a lost age for the literature or the traditional writtens, but exist many informal books and in that books there are narrations of prisions of war, jewishs, soldiers etc; and also the writters needed to change the style of the writtens because in these time people had interested in other kind of things for example the war, although several kinds of arts like the surrealism and dadaism, many people had strong moments in the war for example the soldiers, and those memories influenced the mind of those people and those people created new style of books just got out of their mind. the literature and the art in general in times of war had to improve, explorate, manipulate new things because the time needed that; i think that this age marked the art or the world in general with progress researches creations, science etc. and due to that was created a lot of things that we common know or keep.

  3. A number of common features can be:
    1. the point of departure for modern literature
    2. the intentional distortion of shapes
    3. the breaking down of limitations in space and time
    4. the awareness that our perception of reality is necessarily uncertain, temporary and subject to change
    5. the need to reflect the complexity of modern urban life in artistic form
    6. In a century dominated by two world wars, art couldn't be but intense and dramatic.
    7. an interest in the primitive and a reconsideration of the “past” without the restrictions imposed by national or continental culture
    8. the importance of unconscious as well as conscious life
    9. the impossibility of giving a final or absolute interpretation of reality
    10. The isolation and alienation that refers to something 'outside' or an 'I' that is strange

  5. War only brings destruction, a lot of families are separated, well, in the greatest wars around the world were some examples. Many men went to the war, their wives waited with their small children, maybe those people never found the words to expressed the paid and the cruel reality.

  7. World War II, r, Stalingrad, Battle of [Credit Britannica, Inc.]World War II: Pacific Theatre of Operations [Credit: Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc.]conflict that involved virtually every part of the world during the years 1939–45. The principal belligerents were the Axis powers—Germany, Italy, and Japan—and the Allies—France, Great Britain, the United States, the Soviet Union, and, to a lesser extent, China. The war was in many respects a continuation, after an uneasy 20-year hiatus, of the disputes left unsettled by World War I. The 40,000,000–50,000,000 deaths incurred in World War II make it the bloodiest conflict, as well as the largest war, in history.

    Potsdam Conference [Credit: Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc.]Hiroshima: mushroom cloud over Hiroshima, 1945 [Credit: U.S. Air Force photograph]Along with World War I, World War II was one of the great watersheds of 20th-century geopolitical history. It resulted in the extension of the Soviet Union’s power to nations of eastern Europe, enabled a communist movement to eventually achieve power in China, and marked the decisive shift of power in the world away from the states of western Europe and toward the United States and the Soviet

    1- The spread of education in Britain in the decades leading up to World War I meant that both the British soldiers and the British public, at all levels of society, were literate.
    2- British authors, both professional and amateur, were prolific during and after the war and found a market for their works.
    3- Two thousand published poets wrote about and during the war.
    4- The selection poets and poems emerged during the 1960s, remains the standard in modern collections and distort the impression of World War I poetry.

  8. The Women Role very important too...

    For much of the twentieth century, a deep ignorance was displayed towards British women’s literature of World War I.Scholars reasoned that women had not fought combatively, thus, did not play as significant a role as men. Accordingly, only one body of work, Vera Brittain’s autobiographical, Testament of Youth, was added to the canon of Great War literature.Conversely, anthologies published mid-century such as Brian Gardner’s, Up the Line to Death: The War Poets of 1914-1918, contained no mention of contributions made by women. Similarly, Jon Silkin’s 1979 anthology, Penguin Book of First World War Poetry, included the work of only two women, Anna Akhmatova and Marina Tsvetaeva.However, new research has changed ideological beliefs about the role women assumed in producing authentic accounts of war. More specifically, in Britain, research attends to an explanation of how women’s war literature shaped feminist discourse during and immediately following the war.

  9. War always has been present in human´s life, maybe this was a reason for many writers wrote about it. A lot of poetries wrote about their reality in World War I poets wrote about during the war However, only a small fraction are still known today, while several that were popular with contemporary readers are now obscure. An orthodox selection of poets and poems emerged during the 1960s, which often remains the standard in modern collections and distorts the impression of World War I poetry. This selection tends to emphasize the horror of war, suffering, tragedy and anger against those that wage war. In the early weeks of the war, British poets responded with an outpouring of literary production.

    1. The war is one of the themes more common in the literature. Without this, many of the past had not been known to the rest of humanity.

  10. The War was a important element for literature inspiration... Look!

    From Stephen Crane’s The Red Badge of Courage, which has remained in print since its first publication in 1895, and Ernest Hemingway’s A Farewell to Arms, a book that dramatizes (if not romanticizes) the author’s youthful experience during World War I, to Tim O’Brien’s The Things They Carried, the Vietnam War novel that was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award in 1990, war has inspired some of the best-known works in the American canon.
