An anthology of war poems with study notes and work ideas.
David Jones presents poetry about the experience of one soldier in the war of 1914-18.
The Logic of Death
250 poems arranged chronologically by conflict, to produce a history of warfare as seen by the most eloquent observers and chroniclers of its effects.
This anthology serves its title well, offering a marvellous collection of high quality old favourites as well as a number of very welcome surprises. The scope and depth of this selection works in a way that the work of no single poet could.
Peter Vansittart takes us through the course of the Great War, juxtaposing letters from the trenches with music-hall songs, and the words of poets and politicians. Linking the public and the personal, the history with the myth.
