Reviews
[It] will provide the best critical introduction to [the war poets'] body of work as its authority and accuracy supplants previous anthologies. * Agenda *
extraordinary in scope ... an anthology to keep and treasure. Strongly Recommended for any secondary school or college library. * Martin Axford, The School Librarian *
Of all the (many) books I've read over the years about the war poets and the poetry of war, I think this one comes the closest to capturing the breadth and depth of that extraordinary burst of creative engendered by The War to End All Wars. * Moira Briggs, Vulpes Libris *
Kendall's judicious selections, and his concise and useful introductions to each of the chosen poets, suggest that his anthology will become a standard work. * Sean O'Brien, Times Literary Supplement *
Oxford World's Classics' beautifully produced Poetry of the First World War is one of the most important and far-reaching anthologies to have been published in this, World War One's centenary year. * Kirsty Hewitt, Book Hugger *
a thought provoking and moving collection * Sallie Eden, Roseland Online *
