Book excerpt: Leading poet and former professor of English Literature, Jon Stallworthy, tells the story of the lives and work of twelve major poets of the First World War and provides selections of their best work. The First World War began with flag-waving, parades and poets inspired by abstract ideals. In part this reflected the national mood , but it revealed an almost universal failure to understand what modern mass warfare would really mean. The story of the 'war poets' is also the story of an awakening to the full horror of what the twentieth century came to know as 'The Great War'.Wilfred Owen said, 'My subject is War - and the pity of War'. He also said 'true Poets must be truthful'. The best war poetry was the work of writers who were also serving soldiers and was born out of their desire to tell the truth about what it was to be a soldier in the trenches - what it felt like, what it did to you and what it did to your fellow soldiers, friend or foe. The greatness of the poetry lay not just in the writer's talent, but in the unflinching accuracy with which it portrayed their terrible circumstances.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2005 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 2,0, Ruhr-University of Bochum, language: English, abstract: The poem “Anthem for Doomed Youth” consists of two stanzas and fourteen lines. The first stanza consists of eight lines and the second stanza consists of six lines, an octave and a sestet. It is a variation of the Shakespearian or Elizabethan sonnet. Owen himself has divided the sonnet in parts, the break coming at the end of line eight, which gives the impression of it being a Petrarchan sonnet. The reader must not, however, be fooled by this break, because if one looks at the poem in terms of its themes, one finds that there is only one theme which takes up all fourteen lines. On the other hand, although the sonnet concludes with a rhyming couplet, there is no distinct theme in this couplet, as there would be in a classical Elizabethan structure. This essay takes a closer look at the poem and analyses it in detail.
