Although the work of Ellen La Motte has received very little critical attention, her collection "The Backwash of War" (1916) is an extraordinary description of the wounds--both physical and psychological--of the Great War, as seen through the eyes of as an American nurse working near the Belgian front. This essay shows that the stories are not only important as a social document but are also wondefully crafted.

Abstract
Although the work of Ellen La Motte has received very little critical attention, her collection "The Backwash of War" (1916) is an extraordinary description of the wounds--both physical and psychological--of the Great War, as seen through the eyes of as an American nurse working near the Belgian front. This essay shows that the stories are not only important as a social document but are also wondefully crafted.File allegati a questo prodotto
