Summary

This title paints a full picture of the wider world after the First World War in which poets such as Rupert Brooke and Wilfred Owen moved, getting away from the stereotype of the doomed youth in the Flanders mud and relating them to a particular historical, social and cultural moment in the evolution of British society.
