Classical Connections

Beschreibung

Rupert Brooke, Wilfred Owen, Isaac Rosenberg, and Charles Sorley all died in WWI. They came from diverse social, educational, and cultural backgrounds, but engagement with Greek and Roman antiquity was decisive in shaping their poetry. This volume explores how, when, and why classical materials were so influential in these poets' work.
