Though Siegfried Sassoon would argue the point throughout his life, most critics regard his war poetry, written during World War I, as the best of his writings. Like many of his artistic contemporaries, Sassoon embraced the "Great War for Civilization" with great fervor, and it was this passion that he brought to his earliest writings about the war. "Absolution," his first war poem, published in 1915, summed up his feelings: "fighting for our freedom, we are free." Fighting on the frontlines, Sassoon soon came to the conviction that his war for civilization was anything but civilized. And thus his writings took on a new tone, courageously denouncing a conflict that was no longer about "defense and liberation" but was for "aggression and conquest." Through primary documents and extensive research, the current work provides critical analyses of Sassoon's war poetry. Detailed examinations of each of the so-called trench poems show how the poet and his poetry were transformed through his wartime experiences and give the rationale for the critical consensus that the Sassoon canon is among the most significant in the literature of modern warfare.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact.

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

Siegfried Loraine Sassoon, CBE, MC (8 September 1886 - 1 September 1967) was an English poet, writer, and soldier. Decorated for bravery on the Western Front, he became one of the leading poets of the First World War. His poetry both described the horrors of the trenches and satirised the patriotic pretensions of those who, in Sassoon's view, were responsible for a jingoism-fuelled war. Sassoon became a focal point for dissent within the armed forces when he made a lone protest against the continuation of the war in his "Soldier's Declaration" of 1917, culminating in his admission to a military psychiatric hospital. Sassoon later won acclaim for his prose work, notably his three-volume fictionalised autobiography, collectively known as the "Sherston trilogy".
