The Armistice serves as the Great War's haunted point of closure in Britain. By combining literary and historical analysis with psychoanalysis and trauma theory, my interdisciplinary approach to the Great War enables a multifaceted exploration of the dynamics of unresolved mourning after catastrophic events through both general and historically specific modes of investigation. Chapter One addresses the unresolved crises of cultural and medical mediation occasioned by shell shock. I then suggest that contemporary scholarship which reformulates trauma and mourning after Freud's Beyond the Pleasure Principle (1920) effectively recalls the specters of the century's first massive trauma. Chapter Two foregrounds the scholar's participation in the cultural transmission and reception of catastrophic events through practical and theoretical formulations of trauma and mourning. In Chapter Three, diverse conceptualizations of mourning and survivorship are juxtaposed in illustration of the challenges which trauma poses to any unitary formulation of its aftermath. And adapting scholarship on the Second World War, Chapter Four considers the ways that secondary narratives of the Great War continue to engage the dynamics of historical trauma through an abiding preoccupation with the frontsoldier. In Part Two, by reclassifying the poems of Owen and Sassoon as poetic testimonies, Chapter Five privileges their urgent transmission and reception of harrowing experience and unresolved mourning. Chapter Six then contrasts the oppositional engagement of Woolf's Jacob's Room (1922) with official modes of memory-work configured after the Armistice by national commemorative sites such as the Cenotaph and the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior. In Chapter Seven, the postwar suicide of a veteran in Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway (1925) merely dramatizes that the specters of the War haunted the peace, a peace belied by numerous unresolved losses which contributed to the Second World War. Finally, Chapter Eight discusses Jones's In Parenthesis (1937) and its reconstruction of the haunted topography of the Somme, a landscape central to the War and its aftermath in Britain. In conclusion, I highlight the belated literature of historical trauma at the millennium as it continues to engage the cultural work of mourning initiated by the Great War generation.

Do places where violent deaths occur somehow absorb the horror, only to conjure up images that haunt the living for generations to come? Many people believe that this can indeed happen; above all, in the context of that manmade phenomenon that reaps so great a toll in so short a time: War. Haunted U.S. Battlefields takes us on a spine-tingling tour of America's most legendary spectral scenes of human struggle—from the Revolutionary War to the Civil War, from the Indian Wars to World War II and beyond. As America's bloodiest conflict, the Civil War has yielded the greatest number of ghostly sightings. Hence, most of the twenty-five battlefield legends this book relates are from this era—whether the myriad strange spectral happenings associated with Gettysburg, or this war's lesser known but equally tragic events. Summing up the eerie essence of wartime scenes across America—many of which today host popular ghost tours—Haunted U.S. Battlefields is a must for students of the paranormal, Civil War buffs, and all others interested in a spine-chilling realm of military history that the history books don't dare tell.

A complete examination of the men and forces that created and shaped the modern state of Israel over the last hundred years Walls of Jerusalem is a study of the creation and evolution of the modern state of Israel. This unique work begins with the actions of four extraordinary men — Theodor Herzl, Chaim Weizmann, Ze’ev Jabotinsky, and David Ben-Gurion — and follows with their influence on subsequent leaders and on the political and military decisions that have shaped and changed Jerusalem and the nation. The resulting physical realty has made concrete the shift in vison from the broad utopian ideals of the beginning, to the separation barrier and settlement enclaves that increasingly divide both Jewish and Palestinian cultures. The author traveled across the West Bank, into the Israeli settlements and along the Israeli security barrier dividing Israel from Palestine. He entered the tombs, mosques and synagogues, experienced the distortion of Jerusalem since the building of the separation barrier - the watchtowers, the welded gates, the shuttered shops, divided highways and back-ways, tunnels, bridges, checkpoints, to better understand evolving reality that defines the stage for the future relationship between Israel and Palestine. Walls of Jerusalem is a timely book, its vivid narrative journeys through a century and a half of dreams and conflicts that lead to a divided Jerusalem: It presents each stage of Israel’s evolution, from the 1896 publication of Herzl’s Der Judenstaat and the Balfour Declaration, to the opening of the United States embassy in Jerusalem in 2018 Relates the visions of Israel’s creators to the destructive and constructive forces utilized to create a new nation Reviews the century long attempts by international organizations to resolve the conflict between Jews and Palestinians Makes every effort to present a balanced exploration of challenges facing the state of Israel and its place on the world stage, but in conclusion gives emphasis to the plight of the Palestinians Integrates illustrations with text to provide a detailed portrait of central figures in modern Israel’s history

Hill House is an 80 year-old mansion built by long-deceased Hugh Crain. The story concerns four main characters: Dr. John Montague, an investigator of the supernatural; Eleanor Vance, a shy young woman who resents having lived as a recluse caring for her demanding invalid mother; Theodora, a flamboyant, bohemian, possibly lesbian artist; and Luke Sanderson, the young heir to Hill House, who is also the host to the others. Dr. Montague hopes to find scientific evidence of the existence of the supernatural. He rents Hill House for a summer and invites as his guests several people whom he has chosen because of their past experience with paranormal events. Of these, only Eleanor and Theodora accept. All four of the inhabitants begin to experience strange events while in the house, including unseen noises and ghosts roaming the halls at night, strange writing on the walls and other unexplained events. Eleanor tends to experience phenomena to which the others are oblivious. At the same time, Eleanor may be losing touch with reality... A finalist for the National Book Award, The Haunting of Hill House is considered as one of the best literary ghost stories published during the 20th century, even by stalwarts like Stephen King. It has been made into two feature films, a TV series and a play. Jackson's novel relies on terror rather than horror to elicit emotion in the reader, utilizing complex relationships between the mysterious events in the house and the characters' psyches. A must read!
