The Winter of the World by Dominic Hibberd
The poetry that came out of the First World War exposed, for the first time in history, the real horror of war. Their book demolishes numerous myths and misconceptions, demonstrating, for example, that the first poems of protest and frontline realism were written by civilians, not by soldiers.
"'Recommended unhesitatingly to both a popular and academic readership' Choice, USA 'Much more than merely another anthology... makes all the rest seem academically too thin, too tentative and personal... The editors have researched the background to the writing of each of the poems... and the notes... are excellent, brief, explicit, and provocative in the best ways; they make us want to know more.' Frank McCombie"
Dominic Hibberd and John Onions co-edited the anthology Poetry of the Great War in 1996. This new book represents their work and research since. Dominic Hibberd's publications include highly praised biographies of Wilfred Owen and Harold Monro; John Onions's include Fiction and Drama of the Great War 1918-39.
