Introduction: Remembering War, Forgetting Influenza Women's Time and Influenza Reading Mass Media, Reading Illness Contagion in the Modern City The Heart and its Discontents: Sentimental Literary Conventions and Influenza Narratives The Restorative Powers of Seeing and Connecting Recovering the Future Epidemics, Gender, and Narrative at the Millennium
Synopsis
This critical study illuminates the neglected intersection of war, disease, and gender as represented in an important subgenre of World War I literature. It calls into question public versus private perceptions of time, mass media, urban spaces, emotion, and the increasingly uncertain status of the future., This critical study illuminates the neglected intersection of war, disease, and gender as represented in an important subgenre of World War I literature. It calls into question public versus private perceptions of time, mass media, urban spaces, emotion, and the increasingly uncertain status of the future. , After surviving a severe case of influenza in 1918, Katherine Anne Porter observed, 'It simply divided my life, cut across it.' The 1918 influenza pandemic spanned the volatile early twentieth century, a time period that included the end of World War I and the granting of female suffrage in the Western world. Focusing on major novels and essays by Willa Cather, Katherine Anne Porter, and Virginia Woolf, this work examines how narratives by women writers engage the 1918 influenza pandemic, emphasizing vision as compensation for losses of both war and disease. Drawing on World War I posters, poetry, songs, drawings, and photographs, the argument offers a persuasive framework for connecting war, disease, and gender to the shock of the modern in twentieth-century culture.
