Book Description
The horrors of the First World War released a great outburst of emotional poetry from the soldiers who fought in it as well as many other giants of world literature. Wilfred Owen, Rupert Brooke and W B Yeats are just some of the poets whose work is featured in this anthology. The raw emotion unleashed in these poems still has the power to move readers today. As well as poems detailing the miseries of war there are poems on themes of bravery, friendship and loyalty, and this collection shows how even in the depths of despair the human spirit can still triumph.

Book Description
Excerpt from Sonnets on the War Dedicatory. "Oh, Treeless Grange, upon the windy Hill, Crowded with peats and comfortable stacks! The brightest lot and fairest landscape lacks, Unless these gentle friends are with me still;" I murmured, as I trudged with right good will. Before the autumn's mellow breath there rolled A heavy vale of tanned and lazy gold: The dog was barking from the shadowy mill. Their sunset-lighted window filled my eye; Tears glittered on my cheek. "Where' er they roam, 'Neath sparrow-haunted thatch or stately dome, May God in all his plenty round them lie!" I raised my face. Across the orange sky A weary train of rooks were flying home.

Book Description
Designed to appeal to the book lover, the Macmillan Collector's Library is a series of beautifully bound pocket-sized gift editions of much loved classic titles. Bound in real cloth, printed on high quality paper, and featuring ribbon markers and gilt edges, Macmillan Collector's Library are books to love and treasure. The First World War was one of the deadliest conflicts in modern history and produced horrors undreamed of by the young men who cheerfully volunteered for a war that was supposed to be over by Christmas. Whether in the patriotic enthusiasm of Rupert Brooke, the disillusionment of Charles Hamilton Sorley, or the bitter denunciations of Siegfried Sassoon and Wilfred Owen, the war produced an astonishing outpouring of powerful poetry. The major poets are all represented in this beautiful Macmillan Collector’s Library anthology, alongside many others whose voices are less well known, and their verse is accompanied by contemporary motifs. Edited by Marcus Clapham.
