| Synopsis: |
Charles Hamilton Sorley's poetic career was cut short when he was killed by a sniper's bullet in the Battle of Loos in 1915. He was twenty years old. Robert Graves called Sorley one of the three important poets killed in World War I. Sorley's war poems are skeptical of the folly of war and refute the war fever that swept over Europe as the preventable calamity swept millions to their deaths. His attitude toward battle and death was Homeric, and his sonnet, "We are as millions of the mouthless dead," remains one of the bravest, starkest poems of the era. The poem came home in Sorley's kit; his body, like that of thousands of other soldiers in that single battle, was never found. This annotated edition was prepared to help today's reader navigate the cultural terrain of Britain during World War I. Additional materials include biographical notes, an annotated checklist of critical reception of Sorley's writing, juvenilia, and selected letters. |
