Bibliographic Details
Summary:Taking the year 1915 as a reference, the essay analyses some aspects of the relationship of modernist writing with the Great War. In Portugal, this relationship appears in many cases in the form of an absence whose scattered traces can only be apprehended through ways of reading which are well aware of the complexities of the articulation between violence and discourse.
