Description and Table of Contents

Description

This is an omnibus edition of "Scars Upon my Heart: Women's Poetry and Verse of the First World War" and "Chaos of the Night: Women's Poetry and Verse of the Second World War". The voices of Sassoon and Owen on the male agony of the trenches are familiar ones; less commonly heard is what the wartime years meant for millions of British women - both at home, as evacuees, or as nurses in the trenches abroad. This anthology records the devastating upheavals and terrible loss suffered and includes poetry by Phyllis Shand Allfrey, Rose Macaulay, Naomi Mitchinson, Edith Sitwell, Stevie Smith and Sylvia Townsend Warner.
