Electronic 'Preview' of War Poetry Review 2010 Published
War Poetry Review 2010 is a lively and substantial issue. In addition to the articles there is a review by Tim Kendall of Elizabeth Vandiver’s book on classical influences in First World War poetry, which she also spoke about at the Robert Graves Conference in Mallorca in July. This is an expanded version of a piece that first appeared on Professor Kendall's War Poetry Blog. The issue also has wartime (First World War) poems by one of France’s most eminent poets, Claude Vigée, especially translated by the translator and publisher Anthony Rudolf (who, incidentally, chaired a recent Rosenberg conference at Toynbee Hall in London).
Isaac Rosenberg’s letter to Paul Nash illustrates Jean Liddiard’s article, and there are six illustrations in the article about the First World War Poetry Digital Archive: Rosenberg and Graves manuscripts, a letter by Gurney, and a photo of Sassoon, Blunden and Dennis Silk together ar Heytesbury.
