Out in the Dark
Poetry of the First World War
in context and with basic notes
Out in the Dark the best anthology of First World War poetry for students. A substantial collection of the great and significant poems of the war. Excellent for AQA A level. It contains historical and social background information and explanatory notes on the unusual vocabulary of the war. With contemporary photographs and drawings.
Both books include many of the most admired war poems in the English language, verse written as propaganda, information about the poets (including Wilfred Owen, Siegfried Sassoon, Rupert Brooke, Edward Thomas, Thomas Hardy, and many others), their thoughts and experiences, as well as the history of the First World War. Some of the poems we include are seen in print for the first time since the war.
Minds at War has greater depth of insight into the psychological landscape with which the poets tried to come to terms, more historical information and more poems and poets than Out in the Dark.
