Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a curated collection of poems written by British soldiers during the tumultuous years of the First World War. It offers a unique window into the souls of these warriors, capturing their moments of aspiration, inspiration, and reflection amidst the chaos and brutality of war. The author delves into the historical context of war poetry, highlighting the distinctive nature of this collection. Unlike previous conflicts where professional poets often crafted verses based on hearsay, this anthology showcases the raw and authentic voices of those who experienced the trenches firsthand. The poems vividly depict the sights, sounds, and emotions of modern scientific warfare, offering glimpses into the soldiers' camaraderie, their unwavering courage, and their complex relationship with their homeland. Through their verses, these soldier-poets grapple with themes of sacrifice, loss, love, and the enduring spirit of humanity. They express a profound connection to the English landscape, their schools and universities, and the traditions that shaped their identities. Notably absent is the sentiment of hatred towards the enemy; instead, there is a sense of shared suffering and a recognition of the universal tragedy of war. This anthology serves as a poignant tribute to the fallen and a testament to the indomitable human spirit that endures even in the darkest of times. The poems offer profound insights into the psychological and emotional landscape of war, leaving a lasting impact on our understanding of this transformative period in history.
