The Mourner's Song: War and Remembrance from the Iliad to Vietnam 1st edition
James Tatum
Tatum offers incisive discussions of physical and literary memorials constructed in the wake of war. The touchstone throughout is the Iliad, not just as one of the earliest war poems, but also as a powerful example of the way poetry acts as both tribute and consolation for loss.
