The First World War is a watershed in the intellectual and spiritual history of the modern world. On the one hand, it brought an end to a sense of optimism and decency bred by the prosperity of nineteenth-century Europe. On the other, it brought forth a sense of futility and alienation that has since pervaded European thought. That cataclysmic experience is richly reflected in the work of writers and artists from both sides of the conflict, and this study provides a detailed analysis of two basic themes -- death and degradation -- that mark the literature about the war. From their accounts most men entered the war lightheartedly, filled with ideals of patriotism and glory, but these generous feelings were soon quelled as the war settled into a stalemate, its operations reduced to simply grinding away the opposing forces. In these operations, Alfredo Bonadeo shows, men became mere aggregations thrown against one another, wasted with no appreciable effects or gains, save carnage itself. This cheapening and disregard for human life and being Bonadeo finds rooted not only in the conditions of war but, significantly, in a contempt for the common man prevailing in European political and intellectual circles. This attitude is revealed most plainly in his analysis of the Italian literature, which hitherto has received little note. Italian leaders saw the war as an opportunity to expiate a sense of national guilt, and here the inconclusive campaigns made their futility all the greater. Out of the torn fields of the First World War grew the seeds of a second, greater conflict, but, Professor Bonadeo concludes, the flowering of the seeds was aided by the degradation of man's spirit on those fields. The grim focus of this book, the dead voices it evokes, leads to a new appreciation of the meaning of the Great War.

Arnold Bennett began as a journalist and never altogether lost the journalist's fascination for the complicated material processes which keep modern life in motion. It was this interest in externals that inspired Virginia Wolf's famous critical attack on Bennett's art, which she found lacking in feeling for 'mood, or soul, or inwardness', though she still acknowledged him 'by far the best workman' among the Edwardian novelists. Another woman novelist, Margaret Drabble, in her recent biography sees beyond this to depths in his work not visible to some of his contemporaries. Latterly Bennett wrote too much and too quickly, yet it is also that feeling for material detail which gives his best books their richness and authenticity, and in his greatest novel, The Old Wives Tale, it is precisely the subtle introduction of externals which holds the secret of his masterly handling of the themes of ageing and the passage of time. Kenneth Young examines those of Bennett's writings which have best stood the test of time, notably the novels and stories set in the Staffordshire pottery towns, such as The Old Wives Tale, and the Clayhanger series, and the London novel, Riceyman Steps, and, less well known, his Journals. He finds Bennett not only a novelist of lasting achievement but a literary personality of exceptional vitality.
