atrocity and captivity narratives  

Définition

  • Atrocity and captivity narratives are a literary genre almost unique to English citizens and their colonial counterparts. Stories of atrocities committed during the English Civil War in the 17th century, published by both sides, were a popular propaganda tool to demonize the enemy and justify retaliatory acts, which often prompted further publications.
