'In Parenthesis  was first published in London in 1937. I am proud to share the  responsibility for that first publication. On reading the book in  typescript I was deeply moved. I then regarded it, and still regard it,  as a work of genius... Here is a book about the experience of one  soldier in the war of 1914-18. It is also a book about War, and about  many other things also, such as Roman Britain, the Arthurian Legend, and  divers matters which are given association by the mind of the writer.'  T.S. Eliot  'This writing has to do with some things I saw, felt,  and was part of ': with quiet modesty, David Jones begins a work that is  among the most powerful imaginative efforts to grapple with the carnage  of the First World War. Fusing poetry and prose, gutter talk and high  music, wartime terror and ancient myth, Jones, who served as an  infantryman on the Western Front, presents a picture at once panoramic  and intimate of a world of interminable waiting and unforeseen death.  And yet throughout he remains alert to the flashes of humanity that  light up the wasteland of war.' W.S.

When Edward Thomas was killed at the Battle of Arras in 1917 his poems were largely unpublished. But in the years since his death, his work has come to be cherished for its rare, sustained vision of the natural world and as 'a mirror of England' (Walter de la Mare). This edition, drawn from Thomas's manuscripts and typescripts as well as from his published works, offers an accessible introduction to this most resonant - and relevant - of poets.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49511013646609,"sku":"GOR007067263","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49554331795729,"sku":"GOR007337962","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49971092324625,"sku":"GOR011832664","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50593829519633,"sku":"GOR014009277","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0571313639.jpg?v=1758968654"},{"product_id":"selected-poems-book-robert-graves-9780571315086","title":"Selected Poems","description":"No poetry has touched readers' hearts more deeply than the soldier poets of the First World War. Published to commemorate the centenary of 1914, this stunning set of books, with specially commissioned covers by leading print makers, is an essential gathering of our most beloved war poets introduced by leading poets and biographers of our present day.  Robert Graves was one of our most fascinating poets of the last century. Born in London in 1895, he served in the First World War and was mistakenly reported killed in action at the Battle of the Somme, as he vividly recounted in his memoir, Goodbye To All That (1929). While serving in France, he befriended Siegfried Sassoon, and would be instrumental in saving Sassoon from the threat of court-martial that followed his declaration against the prolonging of the war. When Graves visited Sassoon at Craiglockhart Hospital he met Wilfred Owen, and for a time the three poets began to work closely in what Michael Longley, this volume's editor, calls 'a momentous coincidence of talent'.  Robert Graves died in 1985 and is commemorated Poets' Corner at in Westminster Abbey.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49535603736849,"sku":"GOR007166154","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49780225343761,"sku":"NGR9780571315086","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50072744067345,"sku":"CIN0571315089G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53026886517009,"sku":"GOR008775438","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53245577232657,"sku":"GOR009439623","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0571315089.jpg?v=1758968345"},{"product_id":"wilfred-owen-book-wilfred-owen-9780571315284","title":"Wilfred Owen","description":"No poetry has touched readers' hearts more deeply than the soldier poets of the First World War.

Dying at twenty-five, a week before the end of the First World War, Wilfred Owen (1893-1918) has come to represent a generation of young men sacrificed - as it seems to the next generation, one in unprecedented rebellion against its fathers - by guilty old men: generals, politicians, profiteers. Owen has now taken his place in literary history as perhaps the first, certainly the quintessential, war poet.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49548186321169,"sku":"GOR012597859","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49550322958609,"sku":"GOR006530418","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49569869332753,"sku":"GOR011293850","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49729126695185,"sku":"NGR9780571315284","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50645906227473,"sku":"GOR010248666","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52587796824337,"sku":"NLS9780571315284","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0571315283.jpg?v=1758967228"},{"product_id":"war-poems-book-siegfried-sassoon-9780571314300","title":"The War Poems","description":"No poetry has touched readers' hearts more deeply than the soldier poets of the First World War.

'In later years', Sir Rupert Hart-Davis writes in his Introduction, 'when Siegfried Sassoon had written much else in prose and verse, he was annoyed at always being referred to simply as a war poet, but it was the Great War that turned him into a poet of international fame, and I feel sure that his ghost will forgive me for thus bringing together these magnificently scarifying poems.'  The poems are arranged as far as possible in the order of their composition, and the reader can compare them with the poet's movements by means of the Biographical Table which is included. Fourteen of the poems in this volume were published for the first time in the 1983 edition of this work.   Sassoon's stature is now assured and recognised. This volume contains the poetry on which his reputation rests.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49570379170065,"sku":"GOR007208564","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50608322609425,"sku":"GOR011988530","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52511756943633,"sku":"GOR014545979","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0571314309.jpg?v=1751442746"},{"product_id":"poetical-works-book-rupert-brooke-9780571313648","title":"The Poetical Works","description":"No poetry has touched readers' hearts more deeply than the soldier poets of the First World War.

The reputation of Rupert Brooke has survived many changes of literary fashion since his death in the Aegean in 1915, aged twenty-eight.
