By (author) Richard Ormrod





This book is currently unavailable. Enquire to check if we can source a used copy


| book description |

'In Defence of the Realm: The Poetry of World Wars I & II; A Critical Study', is the first book to examine both wars' poetry in one volume, to the advantage of both. Set against their literary and historical backgrounds many lesser-known but excellent poets are critically assessed next to the 'known greats' (e.g. Owen & Sassoon, Douglas &Keyes) to show the range and quality of writing across the services and eras. Comprehensive, challenging and well-researched, this is a book for lovers of history, poetry and the esoteric; and for students from A-level to post-graduate level.
