Romanticism and the Poetics of First World War Literature

本专题探讨十九世纪浪漫主义的诗学如何影响第一次世界大战的文学。我们建立在最近的研究到战争和浪漫主义的历史，以挑战第一次世界大战的文学标志着与过去彻底决裂的共同观点。我们研究这种文学是如何改编和重新发明战争文学的传统。我们探讨了分期和战争代表性的关键问题。该项目将有助于了解澳大利亚战争的文化记忆。我们如何理解我们的战争传统至关重要，因为国家正在进行澳大利亚国防军（2022-）的最大和平时期扩张，并重新开发澳大利亚战争纪念馆（2019-）。

This project asks how the poetics of nineteenth-century Romanticism informed the literature of the First World War. We build on recent research into the history of war and Romanticism to challenge the common view that the literature of the First World War marked a radical break with the past. We examine how this literature adapted and re-invented traditions of war literature. We probe critical questions of periodisation and war representation. The project will help inform understanding of the cultural memory of war in Australia. How we understand our war traditions are of critical importance as the nation undertakes its largest peace-time expansion of the Australian Defence Force (2022-) and redevelops the Australia War Memorial (2019-).
