Situating First World War poetry in a truly global context, this
book reaches beyond the British soldier-poet canon. A History of
World War One Poetry examines popular and literary, ephemeral and
enduring poems that the cataclysm of 1914-1918 inspired. Across
Europe, poets wrestled with the same problem: how to represent a
global conflict, dominated by modern technology, involving millions
of combatants and countless civilians. For literary scholars this
has meant discovering and engaging with the work of men and women
writing in other languages, on other fronts, and from different
national perspectives. Poems are presented in their original
languages and in English translations, some for the very first
time, while a Coda reflects on the study and significance of First
World War poetry in the wake of the Centenary. A History of World
War One Poetry offers a new perspective on the literary and human
experience of 1914-1918.
