Elizabeth Vandiver examines the ways in which British poets of the
First World War used classical literature, culture, and history as
a source of images, ideas, and even phrases for their own poetry.
Vandiver argues that classics was a crucial source for writers from
a wide variety of backgrounds, from working-class poets to those
educated in public schools, and for a wide variety of political
positions and viewpoints. Poets used references to classics both to
support and to oppose the war from its beginning all the way to the
Armistice and after. By exploring the importance of classics in the
poetry of the First World War, Vandiver offers a new perspective on
that poetry and on the history of classics in British culture.
