Example contribution (5) min
For Regeneration (novel)

Critic Greg Harris identifies Regeneration along with the other two novels in the trilogy as profiling the non-fictional experience of Sassoon and other soldier internalize the expected role of masculinity within Britain. Harris focused particularly on how "Unrealistic militaristic-masculine ideals", such as the deliberate repression of emotion, consume the novel's characters and the real life Sassoon. Harris describes Rivers' character as using his treatment of the soldiers as an opportunity to shape and rethink this model of masculinity, asking the men to reinvest emotions in their experience of the war.
