  '...this is much more than merely another anthology...Hibberd and Onions are thorough...the notes they provide are excellent, brief, explicit and provocative in the best ways.' Notes and Queries This anthology gives a wider, more accurate and thought-provoking view of British 1914-18 poetry than has been available from previous collections. The Introduction gives a scholarly, stimulating account of the immense and varied mass of verse generated by the First World War. The work of nearly 100 poets (some famous, others long-forgotten) is arranged thematically and notes on the poems and poets are detailed.
