Up the Line to Death. The War Poets 1914-1918 — 1980
Up The Line To Death: The War Poets 1914—1918 is a poetry anthology edited by Brian Gardner, and first published in 1964. It was a thematic collection of the poetry of World War I.A significant revisiting of the tradition of the war poet, writing in English, it was backed up by strong biographical research on the poets included. Those were mainly British and Irish combatants of World War I; but there are also Australian, Canadian and American poets. The poems are arranged roughly in chronological order, from the start of the war to the end. Some contemporary poems by major poets not involved in the fighting are also given. The title of the anthology comes from the Siegfried Sassoon poem Base Details.
When all sorts of favourite authors like Joan Aiken, John Christopher, Helen Cresswell, Peter Dickinson, Jill Paton Walsh, Ivan Southall, and lots of others who are marvellous storytellers themselves, choose their own favourite stories by other writers, the result is bound to be really special, and this book certainly is. Animal stories, funny stories, magical stories, historical stories, or science fiction, whatever you like, there's something here for you to enjoy and to lead you in to other kinds you may not have before.
147 poets in a far-ranging survey of the Victorian age s significant poetic achievements. The pleasures of Victorian poetry lie in its multitude of lyric and dramatic voices and, above all, in its rhythmic power and subtlety. Nowhere else can these reading pleasures be better enjoyed than in the pages of Daniel Karlin s enormous selection of poetry written and published during the reign of Queen Victoria (1837-1901). Ranging from the late Romantic period to the brink of high modernism, The Penguin Book of Victorian Verse features a generous sampling of poems.
