In the modern era, children experiencing grief were encouraged to dry their tears and ‘be good soldiers.’ How was this phenomenon interrogated and deconstructed in the period's literature? Be a Good Soldier initiates conversation on the figure of the child in modernist novels, investigating the demand for emotional suppression as manifested later in cruelty and aggression in adulthood. Jennifer Margaret Fraser provides sophisticated close readings of key works by Joseph Conrad, Virginia Woolf, and James Joyce, among others who share striking concerns about the concept of infantry — both as a collection of infants, and as foot soldiers of war. A phenomenon associated traditionally with Freud, Fraser instead uses a unique, Derridean theoretical prism to provide new ways of understanding modernist concerns with power dynamics, knowledge, and meaning. Be a Good Soldier establishes a pioneering, nuanced vocabulary for further historical and cultural inquiries into modernist childhood.

McGuinty holds up a torch, lighting the way for politicians struggling to be a “good one.”Politics can seem like a rough, seagoing voyage. Storm-tossed politicians may lose sight of their guiding stars. They can lose their way. They can lose themselves. They can end up doing and saying things that betray their fundamental responsibility to give their very best to those they represent.In Be a Good One, McGuinty aims to help leaders in a challenging environment stay true to themselves and those they are privileged to serve. An experienced political leader with over two decades spent in the political arena, McGuinty has masterfully assembled a collection of quotations dating back centuries and has accompanied these with his own measured advice. This compendium is a compass for all politicians and any others seeking to lead with integrity.
