Irony in World War II as Discussed by Paul Fussell

The importance of irony in the interpretation of the First World War: World War I was the first war that took place after the industrial revolution in Europe. Because the new war is a byproduct of the industrial revolution, countries involved in this war too prove that this war will be quick and effective. But the soldiers realized they were wrong. They believe that war ends before "Christmas before" in 1914. But they were wrong, so we needed to beat the people home.

What I noticed the lasting and decisive cultural influence of the First World War was Paul Fossell, a literary researcher named "Wonderful" in 1975 and an infantry veteran of the Second World War. War and contemporary memory is still a zealous journey and learned criticism. After the war, Fossell died in 2012, wrote novels, memoirs, poems and learned that the model they had established was consciously maintained over the majority of the 20th century. Traditions including military epics and popular adventure stories as well as religious and romantic allegories such as John Van - many British soldiers and officers who are immersed in cultural traditions that color their perception are at the forefront It reached.

The great war of Paul Fossell 's literary history and the modern memory seems to have revived variously recently. Among them, Fossell claimed that war made it a sarcastic war, more or less as the war broke the European culture into an ironic war. I could not get the results as expected. Since war there is no shortage of war literature exhausted, this is good. From a literary point of view, this makes sense. From the historical point of view the problem is that it is not least true. Owen's poetry and anger towards British culture by Graves, you will be taught by just looking at Fussylad (10 years after the war, he later regret). America, Britain, France, Germany and the Soviet Union were not particularly ironic or irony after the war. This is the era of liberal capitalism, communism, fascism, religious revivalism, soldier worship.
