No poetry has touched readers' hearts more deeply than the soldier
poets of the First World War. Published to commemorate the
centenary of 1914, this stunning set of books, with specially
commissioned covers by leading print makers, is an essential
gathering of our most beloved war poets introduced by leading poets
and biographers of our present day. Dying at twenty-five, a week
before the end of the First World War, Wilfred Owen (1893-1918) has
come to represent a generation of young men sacrificed - as it
seems to the next generation, one in unprecedented rebellion
against its fathers - by guilty old men: generals, politicians,
profiteers. Owen has now taken his place in literary history as
perhaps the first, certainly the quintessential, war poet.
