FROM MEMORY TO HONOR: STORIES OF SOUTH CAROLINA'S WORLD WAR MONUMENTS A Thesis Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts History by Amy Michelle Matthews August 2008 Accepted by: Dr. Steven G. Marks, Committee Chair Dr. Paul C. Anderson Dr. Richard Saunders, Jr. ABSTRACT Out of the South‟s defeat in the Civil War emerged proponents of the Lost Cause and a desire to remember and perpetuate the South‟s honor in the war. This desire to commemorate fallen loved ones and to preserve their memory continued into the twentieth century, most notably the era following the First and Second World Wars. Based on the South‟s strong sense of military tradition and remembrance established after the Civil War, a scholarly debate has emerged in recent decades over the meaning of military commemorations and monuments. One side of the argument views World War I commemorations as a continuation of traditional ways of understanding war and remembering the fallen.

  • Modernism and World War I
    Fatal Symbiosis: Modernism and World War I In 1909, Ezra Pound, standing on a chair in a London cafe and assuming the persona of the Troubador poet and wanior Betrans de Born, declaimed the following lines from his new poem, "Sestina: Altaforte": Damn it all! all this our South stinks peace. There's no sound like to swords swords opposing, No cry like the battle's rejoicing When our elbows and swords drip the crimson. Hell grant soon we hear again the swords clash! Hell blot black for alway the thought "Peace"! That same year, in Paris, Filippo Marinetti published the "Foundation Manifesto" of Futurism on the front page of Le Figaro, part of which declares: "We will glorify war-the world's only hygiene-militarism, patriotism, the destructive gesture of freedom-bringers. Except in struggle, there is no more beauty. No work without an aggressive character can be a masterpiece. Poetry must be conceived as a violent attack on unlmown forces . l' (Selected Writings 4142). In the following two years, 1910-11, the Berlin avant-garde journals Die Aktion and Der Sturnz introduced new and highly disturbing images of cataclysmic war and apocalypse in the poems of Jakob Von Hoddis and Gottfried Benn, Georg Heym and Georg Trakl. Heym's "The War" (1911) images the disaster as an awakening monster: He that slept long has arisen, Arisen from deep vaults below. He stands in the dusk, huge and unknown, And crushes the moon to pulp in his black hand. By 1912-13,motifs of cannons and marching soldiers, exploding shells and burning cities proliferated in modernist painting, 2 Wal; Literature, and the Arts regardless of whether the canvas was painted in London or Berlin, Paris or Milan.
