Sobre este artículo
London: William Heinemann,, 1919. A collection of the author's best known war poems First edition, first impression. This title collects a number of the author's best known war poems and much previously unpublished work. It is, in many ways, is Sassoon's key poetical statement on the war. The volume includes 63 poems of the war, most written while Sassoon was in hospital recovering from his injuries. "Sassoon's savagely realistic and compassionate war poems had established his stature as a fully fledged poet, and despite all his later prose and verse, and his growing aversion to the label, it was mainly as a war poet that he was regarded for the rest of his life" (ODNB). 12 of the poems included appear in print for the first time here, the others having been published in two previous collections: The Old Huntsman (1917) and Counter-Attack (1918). Small octavo. Finely bound by the Chelsea Bindery in red morocco, white morocco title label to spine and front board lettered in black, twin rule to turn-ins gilt, dark green endpapers, top edge gilt. The occasional spot, an excellent copy in a fine binding. Keynes A20; Reilly p. 286.
