AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Discusses a number of war novels which, rather than focussing on military conflicts, centre on the ways in which war has shaped Australian experience. Argues that while in a first stage of writing about the First World War the focus was on positive myth-making, on the growth of Anzac male myths of a national 'coming-of-age', these later novels highlight the often destabilising effects of war on specifially Australian experience.
