Neither history nor story : common soldiers write the American Civil War
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- After the American Civil War Union and Confederate common soldiers wrote numerous memoirs, novels, and essay collections in an effort to influence how the war and their rank would be remembered. These have been largely neglected by scholars of American history and literature. This study recuperates these works as an important part of early debates over Civil War memory. Chapters consider common soldiers' attempts to shape sectional reconciliation, competition with their former officers in the Civil War literary field, and strategies for representing mass experience.
