Abstract

[Marco Rovinello’s chapter examines the educational dimension of the military service and offers an overview of the ways in which spelling books and handbooks (libri del soldato), produced between 1861 and 1914, aimed to legitimize military service and persuade conscripts to fulfill their duties. He pays particular attention to the extent to which pro-conscription stylistic and argumentative strategies changed according to national/international political framework and sociological profile of the conscripts. Furthermore, by comparing textbooks that were aimed at soldiers to the pro-military materials and the prevalent antimilitaristic propaganda that targeted civilians, Rovinello argues that pro-conscription discourse was adapted to different audiences and used to counter antimilitarists’ criticism on the military draft.]
