Summary "Georgian Poetry 1916-1917" by Sir Edward Howard Marsh is a collection of contemporary poetry reflecting the sentiments of the early 20th century, particularly during the period of World War I. As a significant anthology, it captures the voices of various poets from the younger generation, mingling their themes of war, loss, love, and nature amidst the evolving literary landscape of that time. The opening portion of the collection provides a prefatory note and reveals the inclusion of works from eighteen poets. It highlights the shift toward new voices while retaining some familiar ones, all presented with a focus on accessibility and appreciation for the contemporary literary movement. Notable contributions come from poets like W.J. Turner and Siegfried Sassoon, showcasing powerful imagery and emotional depth through themes of war and existential reflections. This introductory segment sets the stage for a diverse assortment of poems, offering readers a glimpse into the poignant expressions of the era and inviting them to explore the rich tapestry of human emotions intertwined with the backdrop of conflict and personal introspection.
