About this book

Rain, mud and broken sleep shape the soldiers' lives in Siegfried Sassoon's collection of First World War verse. Published in 1920, it brings together sixty-four poems, including twelve appearing for the first time. The opening pieces follow men on watch, carrying supplies and repairing wire, while their thoughts return to warm rooms, familiar work and English countryside. In one poem, a labouring soldier becomes an image of Christ bearing a burden.

Sassoon also turns his attention to the people who explain, manage or applaud the fighting. A cheerful general, a confident visitor to the trenches and fathers chatting at a club become subjects of bitter irony. The movement between close observation and satirical voices gives the collection its force.

About the author

Siegfried Sassoon - BDeBooks
Siegfried Sassoon

Siegfried Sassoon (1886-1967) was an English poet and prose writer and one of the leading literary voices of the First World War. Awarded the Military Cross for bravery, he stunned the public in 1917 by openly denouncing the conflict. His Sherston memoirs remain classics of the period.
