- Annotation
- Discusses spatial, temporal, and pejorative variations of pastoral in World War I novels. Argues that in F. Scott Fitzgerald s The Great Gatsby (1925) and Ford Madox Ford s Parade s End (1924-28), the pastoral functions as a critique of war by effecting a retreat to the past and a hope for future progress. For Jake, however, the pastoral becomes a place to relive war experience, with the circularity of Jake s trauma demonstrating the permanence of postwar anxiety.
