Book Description

One of the leading poets of the First World War, Siegfried Sassoon is best remembered for his angry and compassionate poems, winning him public and critical acclaim. His vivid depictions of the trenches helped expose the stark realities of the front lines, challenging the romanticised notions of heroism that were prevalent at the time. Sassoon was also an accomplished writer of fictionalised autobiographies, which were celebrated for their evocation of English country life and modernist technique. Today, Sassoon’s work remains relevant due to its unflinching portrayal of the psychological and physical demands of war, offering a timeless portrait of the enduring cost of the Great War on both individuals and society at large. The Delphi Poets Series offers readers the works of literature’s finest poets, with superior formatting.
