An excitingly original collection of war poetry - a handbook of Great War verse from favourites such as Owen, Sassoon and Brooke as well as rediscovered poems and songs
Assembling a broad selection of Great War poetry, this volume includes the famous but also the less well known poets, the popular songs of the day and poems from the Home Front. Here are Brooke's The Soldier, Owen's Spring Offensive - but also anonymous marching songs such as When This Blasted War Is Over, sung by British troops in their thousands, and poems by the women back home who waited for news of sons and husbands.
