Description

All That Was Left of Them by Herbert Read is a powerful collection of writings that explore the author's experiences in World War I. Written in a stark Imagist style, these poems and prose pieces offer a stark and moving portrayal of life on the front line. Read's war writings avoid sentimentality while retaining great strength and power, providing a unique insight into the human cost of conflict. The collection spans Read's evolving response to war, from his early experiences as a combatant to his later opposition to militarism and fascism. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the life and work of Herbert Read, a leading champion of modernist art in the mid-twentieth century.
