"My Glory Never Dies"

The Military in Literature, Film, and Onstage


Nested Applications
MITA overview

In this four-part critical thinking workshop series, offered by the Graduate Writing Center and Dudley Knox Library, experience a compelling array of literature and films that have influenced Western culture and military policy. Join discussions that stem from your responses, thoughts, and questions.

The poets and playwrights of Classical Greece created the archetype of the military hero who fulfilled his destiny on the battlefield. These ancient concepts of courage, honor, and military glory have come down through the centuries and continue to resonate today within the lives and careers of military officers.
