Résumé anglais My object here is to treat « An Episode of War » as an illustration of how irony seeps into and undermines all areas of the narrative process, calling forth a world tricked out in deceitful apparel where the drama is depleted and the inane is set into relief. I shall argue that through irony, death and conflict, the raw materials of Crane's epistemology and mainsprings to dramatization, are spiritualized into emblems. There ensues from this process a levelling off of all things, which might warrant one to contend that Crane's lethal representation conjures up a world flat as a sheet and inscribed with erasures.
