| Résumé : | This essay looks at the representation of soldiers in the poetry of Celia de Fréine, in particular focusing on the moment of homecoming. The poems studied are not tied to any recognizable historical, geographical, or mythological background; instead, warfare is presented as timeless. De Fréine's soldiers are also profoundly damaged by war and, like Ulysses, they find readjustment to civilian life challenging. The Odyssey provides a fruitful interpretative framework for these poems since both Homer and de Fréine are asking a fundamental question – is it possible to return, or truly be at home again, after the experience of war. |
