From Homer to Heaney, the voices of men and women have seldom been
more piercing, more poignant, than in time of conflict. For fifty
years, Jon Stallworthy has been attuned to such voices. In
Survivors' Songs he explores a series of poetic encounters with
war, with essays on Rupert Brooke, Siegfried Sassoon, Wilfred Owen,
and others. Beautifully written, this moving book sets the poetry
and prose of the First World War and its aftermath in the wider
context of writing about warfare from prehistoric Troy to
Anglo-Saxon England; from Agincourt to Flanders; from El Alamein to
Vietnam; from the wars of yesterday to the wars of tomorrow.
