Published to commemorate the centenary of WW1, this series is an essential gathering of our beloved war poets introduced by leading biographers and poets from the present day and with specially commissioned covers by leading print makers. *"Rupert Brooke: The Poetical Works" and "Siegfried Sassoon: The War Poems" also appeared in May 14 Buyer's Notes*

Dying at twenty-five, a week before the end of the First World War, Wilfred Owen (1893-1918) has come to represent a generation of young men sacrificed - as it seems to the next generation, one in unprecedented rebellion against its fathers - by guilty old men: generals, politicians, profiteers. Owen has now taken his place in literary history as perhaps the first, certainly the quintessential, war poet.
