Company K PDF Book COMPANY K PDF, EPUB, EBOOK William March | 288 pages | 30 Nov 1989 | The University of Alabama Press | 9780817304805 | English | Alabama, United States Company K PDF Book It was written and directed by Robert Clem and starred Ari Filakos. The war experiences in the story are vivid and powerful, and every character is interesting. Company K by William March. The dominant theme of the stories is cynicism, as befits men who are looking back at the war from enough perspective to understand the madness and futility of the fighting. It is of that bravery that we still have the record of magnificent achievement, the brave terrible gift of Company K. A hundred young men - hardly any of them having any experience on the battlefield - start their training filled with enthusiasm and bravery. Crazy Credits. He went to The University of Alabama School of law, but left in because he could no longer afford the tuition. March lived with his family in Tuscaloosa, Alabama prior to taking a job at a law firm in Mobile, Alabama. The detachment and disillusionment of the post war vignettes of the lives of those that survived the horrors of the front is no less sad. Some are true believers in the idea of war to end all war, or in the allied propaganda that all Germans are murderous brutes deserving of whatever they get. I can't understand that.

William Edward Campbell served courageously in France as evidenced by his chestful of medals and certificates, including the Croix de Guerre, the Distinguished Service Cross, and the Navy Cross. Let me just repeat that the opening scenes give the impression you're going to be watching an anti-septic PG certificate made for television production which isn't what happens. In another story, a gassed soldier regrets putting his own gas mask on a captured German in the midst of a gas attack. In war movies Americans are always the good guys and behave exemplary no matter the provocations no matter what and they're always real men untouched by any horror but not in this movie. Each member of the group tells his own story in the first person, and each has a very different perspective, from deserters to cold-blooded murderers, philosophers to poli One of my favorite books, one that has accompanied me on every cross-country move, a piece of WWI literature that deserves far more recognition than it gets. Technical Specs. Really good WWI book. William March born Campbell won the distinguished service cross and the French Croix de Guerre for his courage during World War 1. Company K Writer In the introduction Hemingway notes that of all the stories published in the novel, the two he most desired to publish were omitted, Andre Malraux's Man's Fate and William March's Nine Prisoners , one of the original serialized excerpts from Company K.

He said we were not soldiers, in the accepted sense of the word: We were crusaders who had dedicated our lives and our souls to our country and to our God that the things we revere and hold sacred, might not perish. Raymond Prado Ian Pfister It was one of those books that had to be purchased at the campus store because it was too obscure to be found anywhere else. Company K is made up of over a hundred short narratives and vignettes, most of them two to three pages long, told in no particular order, about what happened to the soldiers of that company over the course of a year in the first World War, and in some cases about how the war follows them even back in the States.

Though it is officially fiction, I do not doubt that most if not all of the accounts within are based on true events.

But from the prologue, years after the war in which a conversation regarding the evil of murder is discussed, we know most of these men who will survive the war, will do so embittered, broken and lost.

They were very simple: a hymn, a prayer and a short sermon. The stories give a grass-level look of the war in many places, at the same time building a bigger picture about the company itself, about the war and things that will follow the men back home after the war is finished.

    A HUMBLE PROTEST A LITERARY GENERATION’S QUEST FOR THE HEROIC SELF, 1917 – 1930 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jason A. Powell, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2008 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Steven Conn, Adviser Professor Paula Baker Professor David Steigerwald _____________________ Adviser Professor George Cotkin History Graduate Program Copyright by Jason Powell 2008 ABSTRACT Through the life and works of novelist John Dos Passos this project reexamines the inter-war cultural phenomenon that we call the Lost Generation. The Great War had destroyed traditional models of heroism for twenties intellectuals such as Ernest Hemingway, Edmund Wilson, Malcolm Cowley, E. E. Cummings, Hart Crane, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and John Dos Passos, compelling them to create a new understanding of what I call the “heroic self.” Through a modernist, experience based, epistemology these writers deemed that the relationship between the heroic individual and the world consisted of a dialectical tension between irony and romance. The ironic interpretation, the view that the world is an antagonistic force out to suppress individual vitality, drove these intellectuals to adopt the Freudian conception of heroism as a revolt against social oppression. The Lost Generation rebelled against these pernicious forces which they believed existed in the forms of militarism, patriotism, progressivism, and absolutism. The

  • William March (William Edward Campbell)
    William March (William Edward Campbell) William March (1893-1954) was a decorated combat veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps in the First World War, a successful businessman, and an influential author of numerous novels and short stories. His literary work draws primarily on two sources: his childhood and youth in Alabama and his war experiences in France. Four of March’s six novels are set in Alabama, as are most of his short stories. March’s Alabama-based works are commonly referred to as the “Pearl County” or “Reedyville” series, after the fictional Alabama locales in which many of them are set. March was born William Edward Campbell on September 18, 1893, in Mobile, Mobile County. March was the second of 11 children born to John Leonard Campbell, an orphaned son of a Confederate soldier and itinerant worker in the lumber towns of south Alabama and the Florida panhandle, and Susan March Campbell, daughter of a well-to- do Mobile family. The Campbells, however, were poor, so William left school at the age of 14 to work in the office of a lumber mill in Lockhart, Covington County. At the age of 16, he moved to Mobile, where he took a job in a law office to earn money for school. He spent a year obtaining his high school diploma at Valparaiso University in Indiana and then studied law for a year at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, Tuscaloosa County. He moved to New York City in 1916 and settled in Brooklyn, taking a job as a clerk with a New York law firm.

  • Recall Roster by D.A. Boxwell Recalling Forgotten, Neglected, Underrated, Or Unjustly Out-Of-Print Works
    Recall Roster by D.A. Boxwell Recalling forgotten, neglected, underrated, or unjustly out-of-print works William March. Company K. Intro. By Philip D. Beidler. Tuscaloosa: University of Alabama Press, 1989. hen William March’s novel was first published in January 1933, its author happened to be in Hamburg , Germany. A former Marine who was wounded at Belleau WoodW and on the Blanc Mont Ridge, March was the E u ropean re p resentative of the Wa t e rman Steamship Corporation. Witnessing the rise of Hitler to power during his stay in Europe, March got ironic confirmation of what the unsympathetic character, the Judge Advocate Lt. James Fairbrother says at the end of novel, when he rants against pacifism in a windy political speech: “‘Brotherhood of man,’ indeed—I’d laugh if the situation were not so fraught with danger.— Germany is not to be ignored, either.—How shortsighted we were to let them get on their feet again.—” (255). Company K, March’s first novel, is a masterful reflection of how much the futility and carnage of World War I festered in people’s hearts and souls and made the Second World War a seeming inevitability. Coming as it did at the end of a vogue for Great War fiction in the late 20s and early 30s, Company K is, in many ways, the pure distillation, in literary fiction, of the bitter disillusionment spawned by the Great War, and the war’s seeming inconclusiveness. But even more signifi- cant, and less predictable, Company K is neatly metafictional that makes it a harbinger of much post-Vietnam writing.

  • Robert Singer the Murderous Mystique: Naturalism and the Bad Seed Naturalism and Post-War American Culture William March's
    Robert Singer City University of New York The Murderous Mystique: Naturalism and The Bad Seed “The born female criminal is, so to speak, doubly exceptional, as a woman and as a criminal. For criminals are an exception among civilised people, and women are an exception among criminals . the criminal woman is consequently a monster.”1 “Some murderers, particularly the distinguished ones who were going to make great names for themselves, usually started in childhood; they showed their genius early, just as outstanding poets, mathematicians, and musicians did.”2 Naturalism and Post-War American Culture William March’s The Bad Seed (1954) is a naturalist novel about a child serial killer with roots in the determinist ideology of the late 19th century. Zola’s literary deployment of the term “naturalism” is appropriated for the modernist notion that the criminal mind, whether male, female, or even a child’s, is not of supernatural origin (“cursed by god,” “evil spirits”), but the product of an observable relationship, an intersection between the genetic makeup of the individual – his/her family and its biochemical “origins” – and the role of the environment, the social and historical milieu, and its affect on the individual. Basically, 1 Caesar Lombroso, The Female Offender (New York: Appelton and Co., 1897), pp. 151-152. 2 William March, The Bad Seed (Rprnt. New Jersey: Echo Press, 1997), p. 74. Note: All subsequent references will be parenthetically inserted. Dedalus: Letras e Artes the criminal is what s/he genetically inherits and how/where s/he lives, producing a dynamic foreplay of affect. In an extensive series of novels by Zola, he explores and documents the fictional lives and fortunes of the Rougon-Macquart extended family, from its origin to its conclusion, to demonstrate a network of failure and fortune, within the framework of the tumultuous historical and cultural causalities of France during the 19th century.

William March, the writer, was born sometime after that, not in fact until he was in his middle thirties, when a long attack of hysterical blindness left him at the mercy of what he discovered to be a wry and melancholy imagination. He recalled over and over again the men and the exploits of his own company of Marines in the First World War. When he regained his sight, he wrote Company K, and thereafter his preoccupation with human char- acter, and what he could do with it on paper, gradually ab- sorbed him, so that about ten years later he shed his active interest in the shipping business.
