In the opening section of these related studies of modern literature, Bernard Bergonzi considers the poetry and fiction of two World Wars, including discussions of Wilfred Owen, Richard Aldington's "Death of a Hero", Pat Barker's "Regeneration" and the poetry of the 1940s Desert War. The second section deals with a number of prominent 20th-century authors. Among other subjects, it looks at Ford Madox Ford's "The Good Soldier" as a novel anticipating the Great War, the treatment of memory in Orwell's "Nineteen Eighty-Four", and aspects of the poetry of T.S. Eliot, responding to arguments about its anti-semitism. The final section is on Catholic writers, from Hopkins and Chesterton to Graham Greene and David Lodge. The book continues Bergonzi's extensive career as a critic and literary historian and takes a fresh look at some of the subjects of earlier books, such as Hopkins, Eliot, Wells and the literature of war.
