Description
Ranging far beyond the traditional canon, this ground-breaking anthology casts a vivid new light on poetic responses to the First World War. Bringing together poems by soldiers and non-combatants, patriots and dissenters, and from all sides of the conflict across the world, International Poetry of the First World War reveals the crucial public role that poetry played in shaping responses to and the legacies of the conflict.
Across over 150 poems, this anthology explores such topics as the following:
· Life at the Front
· Psychological trauma
· Noncombatants and the home front
· Rationalising the war
· Remembering the dead
· Peace and the aftermath of the war
With contextual notes throughout, the book includes poems written by authors from America, Australia, Austria-Hungary, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Great Britain, India, Ireland, Italy, New Zealand, Russia, and South Africa.
