Description: What passing - bells for these who die as cattle? The First World War produced an extraordinary flowering of poetic talent from poets whose words commemorate the conflict as enduringly as monuments in stone. Their poems have come to express the feelings of a nation about the horrors and aftermath of war. This new anthology provides a definitive record of the achievements of the Great War poets. As well as offering generous selections from the celebrated soldier - poets including Wilfred Owen Siegfried Sassoon Rupert Brooke and Ivor Gurney it also incorporates less well - known writing by civilian and women poets. Music hall and trench songs provide a further lyrical perspective on the War. The work of each poet is prefaced with a biographical account that sets the poems in their historical context. In addition Tim Kendall's introduction charts the history of the war poets reception and challenges prevailing myths about their progress from idealism to bitterness. About THE Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features including expert introductions by leading authorities helpful notes to clarify the text up - to - date bibliographies for further study and much more.
