    About this ebook

    Although "Regeneration" is an anti-war novel, it deals with several issues and concerns which were very important in England at the time of the war.

    Pat Barker, the author, has quite skillfully presented the issues through highly emphatic characters in the novel. The story revolves around a few significant characters, particularly, Dr. Rivers, a psychiatrist who attends the soldiers who have suffered several kinds of mental problems during the war.

    Dr. Rivers happens to be torn between his duty and sympathy. Till the very end of the novel, he is not sure whether he should cure his patients to go back to the war or he should come out openly against the war.

      Chapter One: Introduction

      Regeneration by Pat Barker was first published in the year 1991. It is a prize-winning novel. It was nominated for a Booker Prize.

      The New York Times Book Review described that Regeneration is one of the four best novels of the year 1991.

      Regeneration is the first of the three novels in Regeneration Trilogy of novels written on the First World War.

      The Eye in the Door and The Ghost Road are the other two novels in the Regeneration Trilogy. The Ghost Road was the winner of the Booker Prize in the year 1995.

      According to Pat Barker, she was highly inspired by her husband while writing Regeneration. Her husband was a known neurologist who was very much familiar with the writings of Dr. W. H. R. Rivers and his experiments with nerve regeneration.

      Regeneration is a morally nuanced novel; it is actually an anti-war novel, though the story shows the issues and concerns which were in focus in wartime Britain.

      Pat Barker has focused on the experiences of Rivers. He was the psychiatrist who attended his patients. The author tries to clearly show the conflict between duty and sympathy.

      Pat Barker’s writing style is direct but highly insightful. She very successfully presents a microcosm of madness in society.

      The author presents the reflection of the society and its issues, but she does
