History

Military

Oxford University Press

The poetry of the Great War is among the most powerful ever written in the English language. Unique for its immediacy and searing honesty, it has made a fundamental contribution to our understanding of and response to war and the suffering it creates. Widely acclaimed as an indispensable guide to the Great War poets and their work, Out of Battle explores in depth the variety of responses from Rupert Brook, Ford Madox Ford, Siegfried Sassoon, Wilfred Owen, Issac Rosenberg and Edward Thomas to the events they witnessed. Other poets discussed are Hardy, Kipling, Charles Sorely, Ivor Gurney, Herbert Read, Richard Aldington and David Jones. For the second edition of Out of Battle , a substantial new preface has been added together with an appendix on the unresolved problems concerning the Owen manuscripts. An updated bibliography provides useful guidance for further reading.

Out of Battle : The Poetry of the Great War

History & Criticism

Oxford Univ. Pr.

Poet/critic Silkin begins from the premise that two modes of verse, free and metrical, engage the creative energies of poetry now. He reads the work of Whitman, Hopkins, Eliot, Pound, Lawrence, Dylan Thomas, Bunting and ten British poets from the post-Second World War period to illustrate how free and metrical verse create separately or together a poetic harmony. He includes statements on modern poetry from poets, and concludes with a memoir of Basil Bunting by Connie Pickard. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

The Life of Metrical and Free Verse in Twentieth-Century Poetry

PALGRAVE~MACMILLAN

In a wide-ranging and compelling account of the life of metrical and free verse in the twentieth century, poet and critic Jon Silkin deepens our understanding of the way poetry works on us. He begins from the premiss that two modes of verse, free and metrical, engage the creative energies of poetry now, creating a rich, fertile environment capable of yielding work valuable to poetry itself and to the society which has given it life. With a practitioner's empathy Silkin reads the poetry of Whitman, Hopkins, Eliot, Pound, Lawrence, Dylan Thomas, Bunting and eight British poets from the post-second World War period to illustrate how free and metrical verse create, separately or together, a poetic harmony. Additionally, he includes crucial statements on modern poetry from poets themselves, concluding with a fine memoir of Basil Bunting by Connie Pickard, published in book-form for the first time.
