From the worst horrors of modern trench warfare a small handful of soldiers and nurses created a body of poetry that is so vivid and intense that one hundred years later it has engraved itself on our national consciousness. This anthology focuses on those poets who were on the front line, from the famous Sassoon, Owens and Graves, to nurses like Vera Brittain. The poems are accompanied by a brief and accessible introduction, which sets the context for a reader new to the poems, as well as short biographical profiles of the poets.

SORROW AND DISMAY is an illustrated meditation on the horror and stupidity of the Great War. The selected poems are by Siegfried Sassoon, a British officer. Sassoon documented trench warfare in poems soaked with pain. He confronted the reader with details of tedium and battle on the Western Front. He wrote with sarcasm on the motives of people in power and the absurdity of romantic views of war. He was masterful in capturing the language of soldiers and wartime trauma. The images in this book complement Sassoon's poems and are in sympathy with his anti-war views. This is a deluxe edition printed on acid-free, archival paper. Includes 44 war poems, 24 illustrations, Foreword, and Index of First Lines. Sassoon is one of sixteen WWI poets commemorated in the Poets' Corner of Westminster Abbey. KEYWORDS : World War I poetry; WWI poetry; First World War poetry; Great War poetry; Western Front; Siegfried Sassoon; British poet; anti-war poet; anti-war poetry; war poems; shell shock; trench warfare; wartime trauma; psychological impact of war. REVIEW QUOTES: "There is something in Mr. Sassoon's poems of war so stark and bitter -- This awfulness, these grotesquely horrid details are not what we -- care to imagine. -- There is no room for great hope -- in this 'hell where youth and laughter go.'" --The Guardian"Siegfried Sassoon is best remembered for his angry and compassionate poems about World War I -- [he] wrote of the horror and brutality of trench warfare and contemptuously satirized generals, politicians, and churchmen. -- In 1957 he was awarded the Queen's Medal for Poetry." --Poetry Foundation

Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject History of Europe - Ages of World Wars, grade: 1,0, University of Göttingen, language: English, abstract: This paper focuses on the poetry written about the First World War. It examines the ways, in which the theme of war is presented in poems and how the various battlefields are presented. The paper will also look at the image of soldiers as perceived in the early years of the war and how it changed as the World War progressed. Further, the text highlights the view of twenty-first century poets on post-war memory poems. The selection of poetry in this paper stresses the gap between the perception of the war at the home front and the actual experience on the frontline. Poetry played a significant role in shaping the view of the war at the home front. Poetry fostered the enthusiasm for war more than pamphlets and articles at the time. Newspapers were filled with patriotic verse celebrating war struggle and encouraging volunteers to join the troops. This paper will analyse the heterogeneity of the stance towards of the war and the contrastive depiction of action taken by nationalist and pacifist poets of the time. To achieve this, the research is divided into three parts. The first one discusses the nationalistic and propagandist narrative represented in the celebrated poems of the time. The second part analyzes the pacifist view taken up by the trench poets at the frontline and the last segment focuses on the post-war poems written long after the war.

The horrors of the First World War released a great outburst of emotional poetry from the soldiers who fought in it as well as many other giants of world literature. Wilfred Owen, Rupert Brooke and W B Yeats are just some of the poets whose work is featured in this anthology. The raw emotion unleashed in these poems still has the power to move readers today. As well as poems detailing the miseries of war there are poems on themes of bravery, friendship and loyalty, and this collection shows how even in the depths of despair the human spirit can still triumph.

"The present Anthology contains a number of representative poems produced by English-speaking men and women. The editorial policy has been humanly hospitable, rather than academically critical, especially in the case of some of the verses written by soldiers at the Front, which, however slight in certain instances their technical merit may be, are yet psychologically interesting as sincere transcripts of personal experience, and will, it is thought, for that very reason, peculiarly attract and interest the reader. It goes without saying that there are several poems in this group which conspicuously succeed also as works of art. For the rest, the attempt has been made, within such limitations as have been experienced, to present pretty freely the best of what has been found available in contemporary British and American war verse." This book is part of the World War One Centenary series; creating, collating and reprinting new and old works of poetry, fiction, autobiography and analysis. The series forms a commemorative tribute to mark the passing of one of the world's bloodiest wars, offering new perspectives on this tragic yet fascinating period of human history. Each publication also includes brand new introductory essays and a timeline to help the reader place the work in its historical context.
