Thirty-seven chapters, written by leading literary critics from
across the world, describe the latest thinking about twentieth-century
war poetry. The book maps both the uniqueness of each war and the
continuities between poets of different wars, while the interconnections
between the literatures of war and peacetime, and between combatant and
civilian poets, are fully considered. The focus is on Britain and
Ireland, but links are drawn with the poetry of the United States and
continental Europe.
The Oxford Handbook feeds a growing interest in war poetry and
offers, in toto, a definitive survey of the terrain. It is intended for a
broad audience, made up of specialists and also graduates and
undergraduates, and is an essential resource for both scholars of
particular poets and for those interested in wider debates about modern
poetry. This scholarly and readable assessment of the field will provide
an important point of reference for decades to come.
