Titel 1 WW1 in Poetry and Prose

We are going to read poems from a variety of WW1 poets, and also some more recent works with a WW1 setting. Part of our focus will be on how the different styles of the poems reflect the content and theme. We will also discuss the role literature and art can play in relation to war and how the poems have different subject matter and describe different attitudes to being a soldier and to the war. The film 'Regeneration',  which shows how some soldiers reacted to the horrors of the war and were treated for shell shock, (including Sassoon and Owen) will be analysed as well as contemporary artworks that work with the visualisation of the loss of lives during the war.
