Great War Prostheses in American Literature and Culture<\/em> 
<\/strong>Oxford University Press 
September 2020 <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

George C. Connor Professor of American Literature Aaron Shaheen published his second book, Great War Prostheses in American Literature<\/em>, in September.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shaheen\u2019s book addresses how prosthetic devices were designed, promoted and depicted in America in the years during and after World War I. The modern technology that mechanized the so-called Great Wa\u2014tanks, flamethrowers and poison gas, among others\u2014also was the cause of injuries suffered by returning soldiers. Missing limbs were common and the new technology was promoted as both a remedy and spiritual extension of the physical body.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through recent literary and disability studies, the book explores the spiritual promise of prosthetics and their lasting effects\u2014physical, emotional, spiritual\u2014on the amputees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bookshelf features new books written or edited by or about alumni and other members of the UTC community.…\n","protected":false},"author":858,"featured_media":1180,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[101011,101009],"tags":[],"coauthors":[100991],"class_list":{"0":"post-883","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-bookshelf","8":"category-fall-2020-edition","9":"cs-entry","10":"cs-video-wrap"},"yoast_head":"\nBookshelf -
