Product Description

Review
'Martin has ... achieved that rare feat -- a school book which should appeal to both pupil and teacher ... these two books offer an accessible, informative and fascinating study of the subjects.' Books for Keeps

Product Description
An anthology for schools containing poems, extracts, historical documents and illustrations, as well as differentiated oral and written tasks. The poems cover wars from the late 18th century to the 20th.; Comprehensive coverage of war poetry up to the modern day. Covering poetry inspired by wars from the Napoleonic era onwards, the new edition has been brought up-to-date with new poems arising from recent conflicts, including the Poet Laureate Andrew Motion's elegaic response to the war in Iraq.; Extensive range of poetry from the Great War. In-depth coverage of poetry from the Great War has been added to with a new section on Isaac Rosenberg as well as pieces by other lesser-known poets. Works by Sassoon, Owen and Brooke are also included.; Unique selection of contextual, social and historical links. Numerous short extracts from letters, diaries and newspaper reports help the reader to understand the background to the poems, while dramatic full-colour fine art photographs from the period vivid insights into the writer's experience.; Numerous study notes and work ideas. Study of the poems is greatly facilitated by questions examining their meaning, form and language, as well as suggestions for comparative study, oral work and written coursework. For GCSE and A-level students, a new section of practice questions will help build confidence and experience in their reading of these poems.

4.0 out of 5 stars Used it for school, 27 May 2004
I used this for school and it wasn't bad at all. I mean, one could say that when you are making a book of poetry for school exam purposes you could just bung all of the relevant poems together and let the kids get on with trying to understand them. But for the first time, I found that this didn't happen, and I recieved useful information about the poets' histories and inspiration which really aided my interpretation of the poems. There were also illustrations on each page, which had been chosen out of war art etc. so that they were linked with the subject of the poem, and were interesting in themselves. I actually found myself skimming through the whole of the book, not just the poems I needed to study, and there are several eye catchers. The most interesting thing for me, was the inclusion of the drafts of two of Owen's poems, and you could actually see filled out the basic plan of each poem, and tried different things before he fixed on the phrasing eventually used, to great effect.
