When published in 1929, Evelyn Scott's The Wave was lauded as "magnificent", "monumental", and "masterly" in its experimental, almost cinematic, narrative technique and its modernist view of war and history. For those same reasons, less visionary reviewers labeled it "a failure". Without sentimentality, nostalgia, or a hint of southern apology, Scott takes as her subject the Civil War and shapes it into a kaleidoscopic design. She tells the story not of a single family or person, but of countless characters - northern, southern, black, white, male, and female - from nearly every conceivable background in many different predicaments. Like drops of water in a wave, they are all caught up in the overwhelming force of war, of history. The Wave set a standard against which all subsequent war novels have been compared. It was partly responsible for inspiring a trend in sprawling books on the Civil War that culminated in Margaret Mitchell's romanticized version in 1936, but it remains unique as a literary mosaic of the human condition, a novel of international consequence and boldly innovative method.… (mere)

I couldn't find any reviews of this book before I read it. I am surprised that it seems to be so forgotten and ignored since it is a masterpiece, albeit you could almost treat it as a collection of short stories around a theme. At 600 pages of small print it's fairly long, yet it doesn't provide the narrative of a typical novel. Each of the short chapters (say an average of 6 pages = 100 chapters) gives a vignette of the war or its impact on civilian life. As I read, I was waiting for the individual stories to tie up and meld together, but this doesn't happen and what you get instead is a stunning kaleidoscopic panorama of the American Civil War from all viewpoints.
