Antiwar sentiments found expression not only in editorials, criticism, and journalism but also in novels and other works of literature. \u003ci\u003eWriting against War\u003c\/i\u003e examines the work of Aldous Huxley, Storm Jameson, Siegfried Sassoon, Rose Macaulay, and Virginia Woolf to analyze the effects of their attempts to employ fiction in the service of peace activism. It further traces how Huxley, Woolf, and others sought to reconcile their antiwar beliefs with implacable military violence. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The British Peace Movement's failure to halt the rise of fascism and the Second World War continues to cast a shadow over contemporary pacifist movements. \u003ci\u003eWriting about War\u003c\/i\u003e will fascinate scholars of peace studies and literature and offers valuable insights for current-day peace activists and artists who seek to integrate creativity with activism. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles Andrews\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0810134993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780810134997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Northwestern University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/15\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Charles Andrews","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":49096743551231,"sku":"9780810134997","price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/writing-against-war-charles-andrews-9780810134997","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
