- Annotation
- Sociohistorical reading of Catherine s role as a war nurse. Huang draws on nursing memoirs from World War I in her exploration of Catherine s duties, disillusionment with wartime service, and nurturing of the wounded Frederic who only realizes upon her death that it was her vocation as a nurse that enabled her to face suffering and pain with control and strength. Points to similarities in their wartime experiences, concluding that A Farewell to Arms illustrates how the trauma of World War I underwrote history and identity for women as well as men.
