Writing After War develops a theory of the relationship of war in general to literature in general, to make sense of American literary history in particular. The Iliad, Limon argues, inaugurates literary history on the failure of war to be formally beautiful.

John Limon is Associate Professor of English and American Studies at Williams College. He is the author of The Place of Fiction in the Time of Science (1990).
Limon's book is extraordinarily good. It is an important book, not only for students of American literature but for anyone concerned with the methodology and effective practice of cultural studies. The writing is, throughout, elegant, witty, and transparently accessible.
