Notes
This Readers' Guide examines the genesis and development of the important genre of war poetry in the twentieth century, focusing in particular on the role of the two world wars on the literary and cultural construction of a "war poetry" category. The Guide draws upon a range of key historical and contemporary critical responses, from poetic memoir and journalism to sophisticated academic criticism, to demonstrate the rich diversity of expectations and evaluations elicited by the developing genre.
