The American cultural historian, literary and social critic and college professor Paul Fussell (1924-2012) is primarily noted for his famous work The Great War and Modern Memory, but he also wrote and edited 21 books on a wide variety of topics, ranging from 18th century British literature to works on World War II and sardonic critiques of American society and culture. This book offers a thorough introduction to his writings and thought, and argues for Fussell's importance and relevancy. Covering Fussell's traumatic experience in World War II and the important influence it had on his life and outlook, this intellectual biography puts in context Fussell's perspectives on ethics, the human experience, war, and literature as an evaluative and critical endeavor. 美国文化历史学家、文学和社会评论家、大学教授保罗·福塞尔(1924-2012年)主要以其著名作品《大战与现代记忆》而闻名,但他还撰写和编辑了21本书,涉及各种主题,从18世纪的英国文学到关于第二次世界大战的作品以及对美国社会和文化的讽刺性批评。这本书全面介绍了他的作品和思想,并论证了福塞尔的重要性和相关性。这部知识分子传记涵盖了福塞尔在第二次世界大战中的创伤经历及其对他的生活和观点的重要影响,将福塞尔对伦理、人类经验、战争和文学的观点作为一种评价和批判性努力置于背景中。
