This book is dedicated to Keith Hudson, a youthful comrade of the author's who died next to him in France. One chapter of this book, "Arcadian Recourses," uses the "clumps of crimson poppies, thrusting out from the lips of craters" and the odor of a red rose mixed with the "sickly, sweet, putrid" smell of corpses in a bombed walled garden as examples of pastoral imagery. A change in "sunset" imagery from majestic and painterly to frought with danger is discussed in the chapter "A Troglodyte World." Other chapters in this book examine the themes of homoeroticism and, centrally, of irony as the chief literary legacy of this book's subject. For 10 points, name this work of criticism about the role played by a certain conflict in the development of Modernist culture, written by Paul Fussell.
