This dissertation investigates how 20th century novelists respond to national pressures to unify historical memory while sacrificing individual memory. In the ten novels of this project, the pressure to create a unified national identity restricts individual perceptions of the self, especially those related to daily routines and the memories associated with those routines. Including novels from three periods - the interwar, the Cold War, and the Vietnam War - I explore novels where characters struggle to find meaning through two ways: first in terms of in their ability to traverse geographical spaces that have been altered by conflict, and second through participation in new technological developments in speed that erase perceptions of the past. As geographic boundaries shifted during these three historical periods, so did identities within these new nations. Those shifts resulted in the fragmentation of individual memory and identity. The novels of the interwar examined in this project comment on how new technologies that allow people to cross once non-existent borders much faster widened the gap between the past and the present. Espionage novels of the Cold War begin to anticipate the inevitable break in memory as identities, both national and individual, begin to suffer from paranoia, fear, and distrust. The novels of the Vietnam War see that anticipation rupture into narratives where characters must recognize the separation between past and present as a traumatic break of their identities. This break manifests itself in different ways, but most evidently in an inability to adequately capture and contain the experience of the past. As representatives of a given period, these authors each speak to the larger shift to a national view of history that consequently downplays the importance of the individual's perception of the self.
