""The Effect Of War Upon Art And Literature: A Lecture Delivered At The University Of Manchester (1916)"" by Lawrence Haward is a historical work that explores the impact of war on art and literature. The book is a transcript of a lecture given by the author at the University of Manchester in 1916, during World War I. Haward discusses the ways in which war affects the creative output of artists and writers, both in terms of subject matter and style. He argues that war can inspire great works of art and literature, but it can also stifle creativity and lead to propaganda and jingoism. The book provides a fascinating insight into the cultural climate of the time, and the ways in which artists and writers were responding to the conflict. Haward draws on examples from both British and European literature and art, including the work of poets such as Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon, and the paintings of artists such as Pablo Picasso and Otto Dix. Overall, ""The Effect Of War Upon Art And Literature"" is an important historical document that sheds light on the complex relationship between war and creativity. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of art and literature, as well as the impact of war on society and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
