Georgian Poetry 1913-15 by Sir Edward Howard Marsh
"Georgian Poetry 1913-15" by Sir Edward Howard Marsh is a collection of poetry compiled during the early 20th century, reflecting the works and styles of various poets of that era. The anthology includes contributions from notable figures such as Rupert Brooke and D.H. Lawrence, exploring themes of love, nature, and the emotional landscapes of life during a time marked by social and political upheaval. The collection serves as a poignant reminder of
the aesthetic movements leading up to World War I, offering readers a glimpse into the thoughts and feelings that shaped the Georgian poets' literary voices. The opening of "Georgian Poetry 1913-15" introduces a prefatory note by Sir Edward Marsh, reflecting on the intent to curate a representative volume of poetry from the past three years. He mourns the loss of two poets, Rupert Brooke and James Elroy Flecker, who have died in their youth, thus highlighting the fragility of life amidst creative expression. Marsh also suggests that poetry serves as a means to navigate and understand the turbulent times in which these poets lived, noting that each poem is a testament to personal experience and emotional truth. This sets the tone for an anthology that is both celebratory and elegiac, paving the way for the diverse voices that are to follow. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
