Abstract
This essay-review considers Hazel Hutchison's The War That Used Up Words: American Writers and the First World War (2015) and Pearl James's The New Death: American Modernism and World War I (2013). It explores how these books open up the 1910s as a domain of rich, underexplored US literary activity and as a site of specific wartime experiences and discourses whose careful recovery freshly illuminates US fiction of the 1920s and 1930s. US literature and experiences of World War I, encompassing both militarized Europe and the US home front, receive particular attention.
