Who Chooses the War Poets?
Tue 9 November 2010
University Library
The War Poets of the Great War are today a group more readily identified than the Imagists or even the Georgians. How did Owen, Sassoon, Blunden, Rosenberg and Graves come to be so quickly accepted as the representative voices of their generation? What part have anthologies and their editors played in this process? And now, after two decades in which concerted efforts have been made to broaden the range of war poets and the definition of war poetry, what impact might the newly acquired Sassoon archive have on public understanding of war poetry, almost a century after the Great War? Adrian Barlow will cover these topics in this talk.
Cost: £3.50, £2.50 friends of Cambridge University Library, free to junior members of Cambridge University
