Description
A new collection of poetry from the First World War brings together the works of three major poets. Ivor Gurney's poems offer a glimpse into his life as both a poet and classical music composer, while Wilfred Owen's realistic verse provides a detailed account of war and combat. Isaac Rosenberg's Poems from the Trenches is widely regarded as one of the finest examples of war poetry from this period. Carefully selected by Jon Stallworthy, these poems reflect the disparate experiences of war through the voices of the soldiers themselves. This landmark publication showcases the unique perspectives of three poets who played a significant role in shaping the literary landscape of the First World War era. Published by Penguin Classics, a leading publisher of classic literature, this collection is part of their extensive range of works that represent some of the best literature throughout history and across genres.
