Summary:

Patriotism has long been an important theme in world literature, especially during the era of the "nation-state." Millions of people, motivated by patriotism, have served their countries in many different ways, including in military service in which millions have died. What is patriotism? How has it been defined, embraced, and sometimes rejected? How are various attitudes toward it reflected in literature? These are the kinds of questions this volume explores from diverse perspectives. -- Provided by publisher.
