Explanation and Analysis:

​​​​​​The Return of the Soldier is a novella written between 1916 and 1917 and published just as WWI ended in 1918. Rebecca West wrote during the Modernist movement, and was a contemporary of modernist giants such as Virginia Woolf, but the novel does not make use of key modernist techniques such as stream-of-consciousness, multiple points of view, or absurdism.
