Description

Book Synopsis
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. Erin Penner shows how these two modernist novelists took on the challenge of rewriting the literature of mourning for a new and difficult era.

Trade Review
This is a book well worth reading for Penner’s rich analyses of individual novels, for her extensive knowledge of previous scholarship, and for her reframing of Woolf and Faulkner as writers who should be in conversation and who push us to bring conversations about the form and the ethics of mourning into our present-day world." - Woolf Studies Annual
