Description

A new anthology of First World War poetry that brings together the best poetry by soldiers and civilians, including women poets, with a fresh assessment of their work.
Includes a generous representation of the best-known poets, such as Wilfred Owen, Siegfried Sassoon, and Ivor Gurney, as well as lesser known writers who have been previously overlooked. Includes two previously unpublished poems by Ivor Gurney.
Selection organized by poet, with short biographical prefaces that set the poems in their historical context.
A general introduction charts the history of the war poets' reception and challenges prevailing myths about their progress from idealism to disillusion.
Generous notes detail the composition and publication history of the poems and gloss allusions and historical references.
