-
A fictionalised autobiography of the period between the spring of 1916 and the summer of 1917, in which the story moves from the trenches to the Fourth Army School, to Morlancourt and a raid, and then to the Battle of the Somme.
-
At the dawn of World War I, poet Sassoon exchanged his pastoral pursuits of cricket, fox-hunting, and romantic verse for army life amid the muddy trenches of France. This collection of his epigrammatic and satirical poetry conveys the shocking brutality and pointlessness of the Great War and includes "Counter-Attack," "'They," "The General," and "Base Details."
-
A collection of poems by Wilfred Edward Salter Owen, MC, who was an English poet and soldier, he is thought to be the greatest of all the British First World War poets. His shocking, realistic war poetry on the horrors of trench and gas warfare was heavily influenced by his friend Siegfried Sassoon and sat in stark contrast to both the public perception of war at the time, and to the confidently patriotic verse written earlier by war poets such as Rupert Brooke. Some of his best-known works - most of which remained unpublished until after his death - include Dulce Et Decorum Est, Anthem for Doomed Youth, Futility and Strange Meeting.
-
Sassoon's fame as a novelist and autobiographer, and the success of his posthumously published Diaries, have somewhat obscured his achievement as a poet. Apart from the famous War Poems of 1919, which firmly established his reputation, he published eight volumes of verse during his lifetime. This collected edition represents his own choice of the poems he wished to preserve. It was first published in 1947 and subsequently enlarged to include the late poems in Sequences.
-
A collection of Rosenberg's works includes not only all his poetry, but also his prose and painting and drawings, the latter of which are now in the Imperial War Museum. Isaac Roseberg was brought up in the poor Jewish community of the East End and died in action at the end of World War I.
