Pacifism and English Literature pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
Wars have been waged so continuously through human history that they are regarded as unavoidable, but the increasing destructiveness to civilians and the environment makes pacifism an urgent and viable alternative. This book argues that imaginative writers have, since the fourteenth century, written powerful works and passages condemning war and presenting visions of peace that are imaginable and achievable. After examining the words of sacred works and philosophical arguments supporting peace, this book traces chronologically the ways in which English poets have presented pacifist beliefs. It is ideal for study on Peace and Conflict Studies courses around the world, while for literary students it provides a unique, thematic history of English literature based on the pacifist theme. It is also a book that will provide inspiration for all readers who believe that war does not solve problems in the modern world, and that a fresh approach to conflict is necessary.
