The best in town
This page is merely a compilation of materials for SP5 - Modernism and WWI
A shattered and fragmented world requires new and fragmented literature.
​
Here are the 2 topics that you may choose for your written assignment:
​
1: War poetry and illustrations from WW1 - Each group will be given 1 book containing loads of war poetry. You'll encounter pretty nasty imagery.
​
2: WW1 and Hemingway 1 – If you choose this topic, you' ll need excerpts from ”A Farewell to Arms” and the short story ”Soldier’s home”
Hemingway's story "Soldier's Home" conveys feelings of frustration and shame upon returning home to a town and to parents who still have a romantic notion of war and who don't understand the psychological impact the war has had on their son.
