Ambrose Bierce’s Civilians and Soldiers in Context A Critical Study 2004, 336 pp
courtesy of our partner, Atlas Books |
This new study reveals that the nineteen stories that comprised the original Tales of Soldiers and Civilians consist of carefully developed and interrelated meanings and themes that can only be fully understood by examining the complex circumstances of their original publications. By considering each of the nineteen tales in the order in which they were first published and by drawing heavily on contemporary related materials, Blume re-creates much of the original milieu into which Bierce carefully placed his short stories.
