| War Poetry |
| It's difficult to lump all war poetry together, as it ranges from the blind patriotism of such poems as "The Charge of the Light Brigade" to the realism of war shown in "Dulce et Decorum Est". Although I am fascinated by war poetry in general, it is that of the First World War that I love best, and that will be shown here. |
