Hynes was a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature and Woodrow Wilson Professor of Literature emeritus at Princeton University. His other books include On War and Writing (University of Chicago Press, 2018), A War Imagined,[4] The Growing Seasons[1] and The Unsubstantial Air: American Fliers in the First World War published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux in October 2014.[5]
