Survivors' songs :from Maldon to the Somme /by Jon Stallworthy. - 1 online resource (xiii, 226 pages) :digital, PDF file(s).

Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015).

Death of the hero -- Survivors' songs -- England's epic? -- Who was Rupert Brooke? -- Christ and the soldier -- Owen's afterlife -- Owen and his editors -- Legacy of the Somme -- Iconography of the Waste Land -- War and peace -- Fire from heaven -- Henry Reed and the Great Good Place -- Fury and the mire.

From Homer to Heaney, the voices of men and women have seldom been more piercing, more poignant, than in time of conflict. For fifty years, Jon Stallworthy has been attuned to such voices. In Survivors' Songs he explores a series of poetic encounters with war, with essays on Rupert Brooke, Siegfried Sassoon, Wilfred Owen, and others. Beautifully written, this moving book sets the poetry and prose of the First World War and its aftermath in the wider context of writing about warfare from prehistoric Troy to Anglo-Saxon England; from Agincourt to Flanders; from El Alamein to Vietnam; from the wars of yesterday to the wars of tomorrow.
