Beginning with an exploration of 'myth' and its relationship to the Great War, it progresses to a consideration of the role of war in the Weimar Republic and the enduring myths that the war had spawned. A detailed analysis of Walter Flex's Der Wanderer zwischen beiden Welten (1917), Ernst Jünger's In Stahlgewittern (1920), Ludwig Renn's Krieg (1928) and Erich Maria Remarque's Im Westen nichts Neues (1929) considers the presentation of the war experience thematically, focusing on the 'spirit of 1914', the aestheticisation of war, combat, comradeship, fate and the fallen, identifying productive tensions in each text to a certain degree. Although such literature is still largely categorised as either 'nationalist' or 'anti-war', I argue that this is an oversimplification of their complexity and, as such, has limited validity from a literary perspective. 2009-12-15 2009-09 graduation eng author This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.
