Willa Cather's Vision of War in One of Ours

Abstract

This study sheds the light on the vision of war in Willa Cather’s novel One of Ours. Cather like other American writers has experienced the sense of loss like her fellow country people after during and after the World War- I. She came up with One of Ours to articulate her sense of disillusionment. She has experience the tragic suffering of war not by sharing in the fight but via her friends and people around her whom she used to listen to their violent stories in the combat fields. She has sought to highlight the dilemma of her generation. Cather was criticized for her war sections in One of Ours and blamed for idealizing war
