Book Description
Rupert Brooke, Wilfred Owen, Isaac Rosenberg, and Charles Sorley all died in the First Word War. They came from diverse social, educational, and cultural backgrounds, but for all of the writers, engagement with Greek and Roman antiquity was decisive in shaping their war poetry. The world views and cultural hinterlands of Brooke and Sorley were framed by the Greek and Latin texts they had studied at school, whereas for Owen, who struggled with Latin, classical texts were a part of his aspirational literary imagination. Rosenberg's education was limited but he encountered some Greek and Roman literature through translations, and through mediations in English literature. The various ways in which the poets engaged with classical literature are analysed in the commentaries, which are designed to be accessible to classicists and to users from other subject areas. The extensive range of connections made by the poets and by subsequent readers is explained in the Introduction to the volume. The commentaries illuminate relationships between the poems and attitudes to the war at the time, in the immediate post-war years, and subsequently. They also probe how individual poems reveal various facets of the poetry of unease, the poetry of survival, and the poetics of war and ecology. References to the accompanying online Oxford Classical Receptions Commentaries will enable readers to follow up their special interests. This volume differs from the shorter volume Greek and Roman Antiquity in First World War Poetry: Making Connections in that it covers the whole output of the four poets, and not just their war poems.

Book Description
April 2018 marked the centenary of the death of the East London poet, Isaac Rosenberg. Born in 1890 to a working class family of Yiddish-speaking immigrant Lithuanian Jews. His death in the French trenches during the final months of 'the war to end all wars' left English poetry with some of its most brilliant and moving poems of human conflict and aspiration. Rosenberg was one of the 'Whitechapel Boys', a group of young Jewish men in East London who would meet regularly at the haven of Whitechapel Library, all deeply influenced by the aesthetic and socialist ideas in the streets all around them. In this tribute to his poetry, Chris Searle seeks to consider Rosenberg's words as a narrative of his times, his world and his unique imaginative outreach. As one of the great poets who grew out of bilingualism, Rosenberg was an innovator and his friend Joseph Leftwich, another 'Whitechapel Boy', described his poems as "jewels of English poetry" and "He was in the tradition of great visionary poets, like Blake." Searle's account is accompanied by a photographic essay by the English photographer Ron McCormick, who lived and worked in Rosenberg's streets and who documented the passing of the 'Old Jewish' Whitechapel during the early 1970s, portraying the street scenes and atmosphere that would have been familiar to the 'Whitechapel Boys'. His powerful depiction of a unique mix of neighbours and community evokes the spirit of Rosenberg's East London half a century before.
