This is an Anthology in Verse and Prose. It covers five centuries that have passed from the time of Agincourt to the 1940.
This is a wide-ranging collection of excerpts, poems, anecdotes, and reflections related to Britain’s experiences of war over many centuries. The material is drawn from British literature and historical sources, capturing both the emotional and cultural impact of war as well as its broader social and historical context.
The selections likely include poetry, personal anecdotes, and possibly short passages from memoirs or historical accounts, all chosen to evoke Britain’s wartime experience from multiple perspectives.
Includes poems by W.B.Yeats, Thomas Kettle, James Clarence Mangan, Francis Ledwidge, Emily Lawless, Audrey de Vere, and Oliver Goldsmith.
This is a First Edition (1943), in good condition. There is some wear on the corners of the dustjacket.
A newspaper review of the book by J.C. Trewin is pasted to the inside cover.
