In response to the devastating trauma of World War I, British and American authors wrote about grief. The need to articulate loss inspired moving novels by Virginia Woolf and William Faulkner. Woolf criticized the role of Britain in the "war to end all wars," and Faulkner recognized in postwar France a devastation of land and people he found familiar from his life in a Mississippi still recovering from the American Civil War. In Character and Mourning, Erin Penner shows how these two modernist novelists took on the challenge of rewriting the literature of mourning for a new and difficult era.
Faulkner and Woolf address the massive war losses from the perspective of the noncombatant, thus reimagining modern mourning. By refusing to let war poets dominate the larger cultural portrait of the postwar period, these novelists negotiated a relationship between soldiers and civilians―a relationship that was crucial once the war had ended. Highlighting their sustained attention to elegiac reinvention over the course of their writing careers―from Jacob’s Room to The Waves, from The Sound and the Fury to Go Down, Moses―Penner moves beyond biographical and stylistic differences to recognize Faulkner and Woolf’s shared role in reshaping elegiac literature in the period following the First World War.
为了回应第一次世界大战的毁灭性创伤，英国和美国的作家写了关于悲伤的文章。表达失落的需要激发了弗吉尼亚 · 伍尔夫和威廉·福克纳的感人小说。伍尔夫批评了英国在“结束所有战争的战争”中的角色，福克纳在战后的法国看到了一片荒芜的土地，以及他在美国内战后恢复中的密西西比生活中认识的熟悉的人。在《人物与哀悼》中，艾琳 · 潘纳向我们展示了这两位现代派小说家是如何面对重写哀悼文学的挑战，为一个新的、艰难的伊拉克人服务的。福克纳和伍尔夫从非战斗人员的角度探讨了战争中的巨大损失，从而重新想象了现代哀悼。通过拒绝让战争诗人主宰战后时期更广泛的文化描绘，这些小说家协商了士兵和平民之间的关系——这种关系在战争结束后至关重要。从雅各布的房间到海浪，从喧哗与骚动到地平线，摩西-彭纳超越传记和文体的差异，认识到福克纳和伍尔夫在第一次世界大战后重塑挽歌文学中的共同作用。
