|Literary Non-Combatants: Contemporary British Fiction and the New War Novel| examines mid- and late-twentieth-century writers whose experience of the Second World War leads them to revise the genre of war literature. This dissertation emphasizes the figure of the non-combatant in order to correct the tendency in scholarship on war literature to focus too narrowly on the experiences of combatants. Such a focus not only limits the scope of our understanding of the effects of war on national identity and culture, but also fails to respond to the realities of modern warfare. Evidenced by German blitzkrieg, the atomic bomb, and Allied fire-bombing, the Second World War made definitive the breakdown of clear distinctions between combatants and non-combatants and, as a result, neutrality and complicity on national and personal levels, in war.

Starting with a comparison of basic similarities and differences between literature and music, the study goes on to provide outlines of a general theory of intermediality and its fundamental forms, in which a more specialized theory of the musicalization of (narrative) literature based on contemporary narratology and a typology of the forms of musico-literary intermediality are embedded. It also addresses the question of how to recognize a musicalized fiction when reading one and why Sterne's Tristram Shandy, contrary to what has been previously said, is not to be regarded as a musicalized fiction. In its historical part, the study explores forms and functions of experiments with the musicalization of fiction in English literature. After ...
