Warfare and the quest for peace have been omnipresent in American culture since the first explorers and settler colonists arrived on the shores of the continent. From fights with the Indigenous population, the Revolutionary War that gave birth to the United States, the Civil War, and the Vietnam War to recent wars in the Middle East, war and peace have shaped American history. This lecture will provide a survey of American literature, showing in which ways fictional texts as well as autobiographical writings have negotiated war and peace, serving as a site on which the nation’s struggles have been played out.
