Аннотация:
This article examines how World War II shaped English literature through themes of loss, trauma, disillusionment, and the search for meaning in a broken world. It shows that writers such as George Orwell, Graham Greene, and W. H. Auden used their works to explore moral conflict, political tension, and the human condition in times of war. Rather than focusing only on heroism, postwar English literature reveals deep psychological and ethical struggles, reflecting how the war transformed both society and individual consciousness.
