Abstract

"The notion that wars impel conceptual and aesthetic innovations is well-established in studies of modern literature. This book offers nuance to such accounts by exposing and exploring the reparative work done by counterfactual speculations and traditional imaginative forms in post-war writings by Henry James, Elizabeth Bowen and Kazuo Ishiguro"
