Exploring the themes of sacrifice, service, and war commemoration in literature, this book examines how these narratives contribute to shaping national identity. It argues that these literary representations address contemporary concerns regarding the stability of the nation-state and the perceived shortcomings of a unified national character. Through this lens, the work highlights the complex interplay between literature and national identity amidst evolving societal anxieties.
