While a majority of scholarly attention in the field has focused on Romantic era representations of war as a mediated form of deferral that sublimates war's damages, I argue that by focusing on poetic representations of the battlefield we can better understand how writers of this era open up a space in which they can consider the fragmenting and discordant effect violence has on the process of meaning-making and can represent what they themselves have not experienced. cache/q811kh07x6x.txt txt/q811kh07x6x.txt
