Paperback. BIC Classification: DSBF. Dimension: 216 x 140. Weight in Grams: 276.
It is widely assumed today that heroism is obsolete as an ideal, that heroic virtue is a contradiction in terms, and that war literature must be anti-war by definition. The author argues that the theoretical foundations of these assumptions are inadequate and do not fit the literary facts.
