National Poetry, Empires and War

Focusing on the glorification of war within national poetry, this book explores its evolution from ancient to modern times through various historical, social, and political lenses. Rather than concentrating on individual poets, it provides a comprehensive overview of national poetry as a collective phenomenon. It will appeal to scholars in fields such as nationalism, Jewish Studies, history, comparative literature, and cultural studies, offering valuable insights into the interplay between poetry and national identity.
