Poets Of The Great War

Poets of the Great War (2014) by Edward Thomas – Faber and Faber
As sold by Crappy Old Books

A powerful, poignant collection of verse from the trenches, Poets of the Great War (2014) brings together the hauntingly lyrical work of Edward Thomas — one of Britain’s most beloved war poets. In this compact Faber and Faber edition, Thomas’s meditations on duty, nature, sacrifice, and the quiet agony of the front lines echo with a timeless resonance.

Edited with care and introduced with a nod to the mud, blood, and poetry of war, this edition captures the human side of history’s most mechanised conflict. Whether you’re a seasoned scholar of war literature or just trying to sound clever at dinner parties, this slim volume delivers.

A bit foxed, slightly dog-eared, and possibly with that glorious smell of other people’s basements — this copy from Crappy Old Books is as authentic as trench foot and nearly as romantic. Poignant, potent, and slightly overpriced — just the way we like it.

Like new.
