This collection provides a transnational, interdisciplinary perspective on artistic responses to war from 1914 to the present, analysing a broad selection of the rich, complex body of work which has emerged in response to conflicts since the Great War. Many of the creators examined here embody the human experience of war: first-hand witnesses who developed a unique visual language in direct response to their role as victim, soldier, refugee, resister, prisoner and embedded or official artist. Contributors address specific issues relating to propaganda, wartime femininity and masculinity, women as war artists, trauma, the role of art in soldiery, memory, art as resistance, identity and the memorialisation of war.

This engaging collection of short stories captures the qualities of Ireland that have made it one of the top travel destinations: its blend of picturesque villages and bustling modern cities, its people known for their warmth, charm, stoicism, and individuality, its history, and of course its rich literary tradition. Organized geographically- much like a travel guide through the Emerald Isle's literary landscape-these varied tales by some of the world's most renowned writers give the reader an immediate feel for the country's enduring past and exciting present. Ireland includes well-known literary giants such as James Joyce and Edna O'Brien, and introduces lesser-known writers to many American readers. Book jacket.
