520 | |a "This study is the first exploration of the impact of World War Two on Scottish poets of both the front line and the home front. World War One has always been thought of as the poet's war, one of horror and futility. The poetry of World War Two, by contrast, has long languished in its shadow, though there was a much greater amount of it written. This book asks whether these poets felt they were grown for war or rather that they grew through war experience, with an emphasis on the possibilities of the future instead of cataloguing the senseless horror of the battlefield. How were the hopes of Scottish poets different from their English counterparts? How was their poetry different, and how did it impact on their later lives?"-- |c Provided by publisher. | ||
