Authoring War The Literary Representation of War from the Iliad to Iraq

'Its scope is astonishing: McLoughlin writes authoritatively about Homer and Heller, Virgil and Vonnegut. She crosses genres and periods sure-footedly ... impeccably scholarly and well written ... I would strongly recommend it to anyone interested in the relationship between war and literature.' Tim Kendall, War Poetry '... fantastic ... the range of references is just stunning ... theoretically astute and beautifully written.' Santanu Das '... an exceptional monograph that incisively and originally engages with a great number of war texts and a vast body of research on war literature ... [Kate McLoughlin's] perceptive claims are an invaluable resource to those working in the field.' War, Literature and the Arts
