Rupert Brooke & Wilfred Owen: Heartbreakingly beautiful poems from the First World War poets
Rupert Brooke, Wilfred Owen
c 1914 to c 1918 (including WW1), Poetry, Poetry by individual poets, First World War
A heartbreakingly beautiful collection from two of the greatest First World War poets
If I should die, think only this of me:
That there's some corner of a foreign field
That is for ever England.
From The Soldier to Anthem for Doomed Youth Rupert Brooke and Wilfred Owen are two of the best-loved poets from the heroic lost generation of the First World War. Brooke's work was well-known before the war, with the now iconic lines:
'Stands the Church clock at ten to three?
And is there honey still for tea?'
from The Old Vicarage, Grantchester. And Wilfred Owen, awarded the Military Cross, had been writing poetry since he was ten years old.
This superb collection is the perfect introduction to two of our greatest poets.
