C.S. Lewis, Poetry, and the Great War 1914-1918 by John Bremer Pdf

The life and work of C.S. Lewis after his conversion in 1931 is well known and his reputation shows no signs of diminishing. His earlier years have not been so well studied, particularly between the ages of 16 and 22 when he studied privately and at Oxford, served in the British army, was wounded in France, entered into his affair with Janie Moore, and wrote and published his first book of poems. To correct and augment the limited accounts of this period, Lewis’s life is presented with the general and specific background which makes it more meaningful, particularly as it throws light on his character. The romantic myth of him as a "soldier-poet" is dispelled, largely through an extensive review of the poems in "Spirits in Bondage" and the self-centered life that produced them. A valuable comparison—not to the advantage of Lewis—is drawn with two undoubted soldier-poets, Robert Graves and Siegfried Sassoon. The purpose is not to disparage or belittle Lewis but to show what had to be overcome in his limited and unpleasant early moral character in order to produce the devoted Christian of later years.

World War I Poetry by Edith Wharton,Wilfred Owen,Rupert Brooke,Siegfried Sassoon Pdf

The horrors of the First World War released a great outburst of emotional poetry from the soldiers who fought in it as well as many other giants of world literature. Wilfred Owen, Rupert Brooke and W B Yeats are just some of the poets whose work is featured in this anthology. The raw emotion unleashed in these poems still has the power to move readers today. As well as poems detailing the miseries of war there are poems on themes of bravery, friendship and loyalty, and this collection shows how even in the depths of despair the human spirit can still triumph.

A Treasury of War Poetry: British and American Poems of the World War 1914-1917 (WWI Centenary Series) by G. H. Clarke Pdf

"The present Anthology contains a number of representative poems produced by English-speaking men and women. The editorial policy has been humanly hospitable, rather than academically critical, especially in the case of some of the verses written by soldiers at the Front, which, however slight in certain instances their technical merit may be, are yet psychologically interesting as sincere transcripts of personal experience, and will, it is thought, for that very reason, peculiarly attract and interest the reader. It goes without saying that there are several poems in this group which conspicuously succeed also as works of art. For the rest, the attempt has been made, within such limitations as have been experienced, to present pretty freely the best of what has been found available in contemporary British and American war verse." This book is part of the World War One Centenary series; creating, collating and reprinting new and old works of poetry, fiction, autobiography and analysis. The series forms a commemorative tribute to mark the passing of one of the world's bloodiest wars, offering new perspectives on this tragic yet fascinating period of human history. Each publication also includes brand new introductory essays and a timeline to help the reader place the work in its historical context.

Adventures of a Soldier in the Great War 1914 - 1918 and Some of His Poems by David Yuille Pdf

The author volunteered for the army in August 1914 and the first two chapters of his book give an almost day to day account of his adventures as a private in the trenches. He was introduced to warfare and trained as a Lewis gunner before the battle of Loos. He took part in the battle itself and in the heavy fighting afterwards. In 1916 he was sent to Blighty for an appendix operation and after training he became a Second Lieutenant. In a third chapter he describes how he cut his teeth as an officer in Palestine and returned to France in May1918 for more heavy fighting. In September 1918 he was severely wounded in an action for which he was awarded the Military Cross. Finally, his letter home concerning this action is followed by a dozen of his poems which reveal some of his feelings at the time. The book would be of particular interest to historians and to school children studying the Great War 1914 - 1918.

C.S. Lewis, Poetry, and the Great War 1914-1918 by John Bremer Pdf

This book presents a realistic account of the early years of C.S. Lewis as revealed in "Spirits in Bondage" and its surrounding events. It calls for a reappraisal of Lewis himself, not as a "soldier-poet" but as a young, ruthless and ambitious would-be academic, using others--his father, his university, his mistress--to further his own ends.
