Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The selections contained in this book make up a sequence which records the history of the Great War from the stirring days of August, 1914, to the opening of the Peace Conference in January, 1919. These selections of verse and prose are arranged, not necessarily in chronological order, but still with a view to indicate approximately the historic succession of great events and the varying moods of those authors and speakers who have been the voices of the allied nations during the fifty-two months of warfare. Although this anthology has been prepared for the use of schools, the plan of selection and arrangement has made it impracticable to grade the poems and extracts to suit the capacities of pupils of different ages. The judgment of the teacher must determine what is suitable for one grade and what for another. Many of the poems and some of the prose extracts will be found too difficult for young pupils. Due acknowledgments have been made throughout the book to the authors and publishers who have generously made it possible to bring together so valuable a collection of the literature of the War. The meed of gratitude due to all the writers represented here can never be adequately paid. Special mention is made of Nizamat Jung, Native Judge of the High Court of Hyderabad, who has given expression to the wonderful loyalty of the races of teeming India, which have poured out treasure and blood without stint in defence of their Emperor-King. A sufficient number of copies of this book should be kept in all school libraries; and it is suggested that the poems and prose extracts should be used in the reading classes, as often as is expedient, instead of the authorized Readers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The War in Verse and Prose Emerging from a long drawn nightmare of war, the world will take account of its recent past even while it looks to preparation for the future. The retrospect will disclose an amazing alchemy. We were living through great days - how great we could not know until they had passed away. No epic has been written, nor is it likely any will be, for the war was its own epic; and there is no Homer to tell its story in one great song. The motive was too profound, the theme too vast. Homer's world was little. But out of the fury that raged round our world came many voices, voices of lamentation, of home, of love and hope and loftiest aspiration, of romance, of comedy as well as tragedy. They had their inspiration from the tremendous vision of a world grappling with death; from the thoughts and emotions not of one people, but of all that were fighting the battle of humanism. Poets great and poets minor have expressed the purpose and spirit of the war in a passionate, personal way impossible to the historian. Their utterances, being sincere, have enduring appeal. It would not be well were all these voices lost. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Poems of the Great War The responsibility for the selection of the poems included in this volume rests entirely on my shoulders, though I am pleased to acknowledge the very kind help on this side of the Atlantic of Mr. Edward C. Marsh of the Macmillan Company, Miss Helen Rex Keller, Librarian of the School of Journalism, and Professor A. H. Thorndike of Columbia University; in England of Mr. F. Madan, Bodley's Librarian, Mr. G. W. Wheeler and Mr. J. W. Smallwood of the Radcliffe Camera, Oxford, Sir Walter Raleigh, Lady Scallon, Mr. A. R. Waller, Sir Adolphus Ward, and Sir Herbert Warren. While poetic merit has been, of course, the paramount consideration, I have endeavored to exercise a catholic judgment, and to give fair representation to various schools of thought and expression as well as to the various phases of the War.

Book excerpt: 'I have come to the borders of sleep, The unfathomable deep Forest where all must lose Their way, however straight, Or winding, soon or late; They cannot choose.' Fired by his abiding love of the English landscape, the poetry of Edward Thomas is some of the most astonishing of the twentieth century. A journalist, essayist and critic for many years, he was encouraged to write verse by his friend Robert Frost. He produced a late outburst of poetry of extraordinary beauty and mystery about the subjects closest to his heart: rural England and its inhabitants, landscape, atmosphere, transience, endurance and death. By 1917, when he was killed on the Western Front, he had earned his place as one of England's most valued poets. This selection brings together his finest verse with his most vivid prose writings on the countryside.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from War Verse Regarded merely as verse, some of the poems by little known writers in this collection rise to as high a level as the writing of the recognized poets; regarded as the expression of true feeling, they often rise much higher. It would be presumptuous to describe this volume as an anthology. That term would imply research, orderly arrangement, classification. It has seemed to the Editor more suitable to present these poems without explanations or any definite grouping. The verses are sometimes light and gay, more often serious, but always they ring true.
