This book draws together provocative essays about works that vary widely in their historical and cultural contexts, in their style and structure, and the ways that violence makes (or resists) meaning within them. It touches upon the foundations of violence in ancient Greek literature, the representation of violence, violence in Things Fall Apart, and American literature dealing with war, and delves into essays on individual works.
