- Annotation
- Close reading of A Farewell to Arms alongside two other novels (by Erich Maria Marque and Richard Aldington) and a memoir (by Robert Graves), which, when published in 1929, collectively established anti-war literary perspectives and portraits of wounded disillusion a decade after WWI. Hemingway's "dominant theme is the destruction of idealism in war," Meyers writes, and in creating their respective works of art the four writers "all gave massive evidence to show that this devastating war should never happen again, persuaded millions of people to accept their view of history and achieved an astonishing transvaluation of values."
