内容説明

It is widely assumed today that heroism is obsolete as an ideal, that heroic virtue is a contradiction in terms, and that war literature must be anti-war by definition. The author argues that the theoretical foundations of these assumptions are inadequate and do not fit the literary facts.

目次

• The subaltern as hero - Kipling and frontier war
• the intellectual as hero - Lawrence of Arabia
• the common man as hero - literature of the Western Front
• the Christian as hero - Waugh's "Sword of Honour"
• the spy as hero - Le Carre and the Cold War
• Epilogue - on realism and the heroic.
