World War I Poetry
Dr Spencer Jones, Edith Wharton, Wilfred Owen, Rupert Brooke, Siegfried Sassoon
The horrors of the First World War released a great outburst of emotional poetry from the soldiers who fought in it as well as many other giants of world literature. Wilfred Owen, Rupert Brooke and W B Yeats are just some of the poets whose work is featured in this anthology. The raw emotion unleashed in these poems still has the power to move readers today. As well as poems detailing the miseries of war there are poems on themes of bravery, friendship and loyalty, and this collection shows how even in the depths of despair the human spirit can still triumph.
Edited and introduced by Dr Spencer Jones, Senior Lecturer in Armed Forces and War Studies, University of Wolverhampton.
