POETS OF THE GREAT WAR :: The Great War :: Time Periods

Potted biographies of some 25 British poets of the Great War - familiar and less famous - together with a representative poem by each. Written by Tonie and Valmai Holt, doyens of the battlefield tours industry, this is a book for all Great War buffs.

No conflict has produced more poets than the Great War. The verse written by the war poets - largely drawn from its junior officers - has largely formed our modern picture of the war, and still features in school curricula. In this book Major Tonie and Valmai Holt, founder of Holt’s Tours - pay a fine tribute to the poets, with short biographies of some 25 of them, together with a representative war poem by each. Here are the well-known - Owen, Sassoon, Graves, Blunden, Rosenberg, Brooke, Thomas, and Gurney - alongside the less familiar: Gibson ; Streets, Coulson, Mackintosh - and poets who are famous for a single poem like Alan Seeger, Noel Hodgson and John McRae. Illustrated by Charlotte Zeepvat, this is a book for anyone interested in the huge body of literature generated by the Great War to treasure.
