Description

Stand in the Trench, Achilles explores how British poets of the First World War utilized classical literature, culture, and history to shape their work. Elizabeth Vandiver examines how these poets drew upon classical images, ideas, and phrases to express their perspectives throughout the war. This study shows that classical knowledge was a common source for writers across different social backgrounds, including both working-class poets and those from public schools. The book analyzes how these references were used to support or oppose the war from its start through the Armistice and the period following. This text provides a detailed look at the connection between classical studies and the poetry of the Great War.
