POETRY OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR (COLLECTORS LIBRARY)

Whether in the patriotic enthusiasm of Rupert Brooke, the disillusionment of Charles Hamilton Sorley, or the bitter denunciations of Siegfried Sassoon and Wilfred Owen, the war produced an astonishing outpouring of powerful poetry. Edited by author and editor Marcus Clapham, the major poets are all represented in this anthology alongside many others whose voices are less well known, and their verse is accompanied by contemporary motifs. The Macmillan Collector's Library is a series of gift editions of classic titles.
