PREFACE This is the third edition, with additions and amendments (and a renumbering), of the edition originally published in 2004 by White Sheep Press. The intention of this checklist is to list all of the writings published by Abercrombie (although there are almost certainly a large number of book reviews and articles for the Nation that have not been traced). However, without this essential building block, which puts his works into context, meaningful analysis and criticism of his work is difficult. This is a working document, and if you would like to help make it a definitive list, please send any amendments and additions to me at [email protected]. They will be incorporated in the list and acknowledged. The format of the checklist is chronological, in order of first publication in periodical and book form. It should be borne in mind that there is a bibliographical hierarchy: contributions to periodicals, then contributions to books, and finally principal books.

The interest in Edward Thomas’s poetry and prose writings has grown considerably over the past few years, and this is an opportune moment to make the whole checklist freely available and accessible. The intention of the list is to provide those with an interest in Thomas with the tools to understand his enormous contribution to criticism as well as poetry. This is very much a work in progress. I can’t say that I have produced a complete or wholly accurate list, and any amendments or additions would be gratefully received by sending them to me at [email protected].

If you are not in the U.S.A., please check your own country's copyright laws. Whether an item is still in copyright will depend on the author's date of death. 01 Preface to Poems by Wilfred Owen (1893 - 1918) This Preface was found, in an unfinished condition, among Wilfred Owen's papers after his death. The (slightly amended) words from the preface “My subject is War, and the pity of War. The Poetry is in the pity” are inscribed on the memorial in Poets' Corner in Westminster Abbey. 02 For the Fallen by Laurence Binyon (1869 - 1943) Published when the Battle of the Marne was raw in people's memories, For the Fallen was written in honour of the war dead. The fourth verse including the words “We will remember them” has become the Ode of Remembrance to people of many nations and is used in services of remembrance all over the world. 03 [RUSSIAN] Мама и убитый немцами вечер (Mama i ubity nemcami vecher) by Vladimir Mayakovsky (1893 - 1930) В стихах «Война объявлена!» и «Мама и убитый немцами вечер» В.В.

In this poem “Mama and the Evening Killed by the Germans” Mayakovsky describes the victims' pain of bloody war and his disgust for this war. 04 To Germany by Charles Hamilton Sorley (1895 - 1915) Sorley is regarded by some, including John Masefield, as the greatest loss of all the poets killed during the war.

  • A Note on the Origins of 1914-18 'War Poetry'
    A note on the origins of 1914-18 ‘war poetry’ Dominic Hibberd Biography Dominic Hibberd, was a biographer, editor and critic who taught at universities in Britain, the USA, and China. He wrote biographies of two poets, Harold Monro and Wilfred Owen, as well as the critical study Owen the Poet (1986). He edited Poetry of the First World War in the Casebook series (1981), and with John Onions, compiled and edited The Winter of the World: Poems of the First World War (2007). Abstract The sort of work that has often been thought of as typical British First World War poetry – realistic, often angry poems about the actualities of the front line, written from the point of view of the ordinary soldier and aimed at the civilian conscience – was in fact not typical at all. And it was not begun by soldiers in the aftermath of front-line horrors, as is often supposed, but by two civilian poets very early in the war. Harold Monro and Wilfrid Gibson deserve to be recognised as the first of what modern readers would call the ‘war poets’. Résumé Les œuvres qui sont souvent considérées comme tout à fait caractéristiques de la poésie britannique de la première guerre mondiale, — réalistes, souvent des poèmes d’un style cru, traduisant la réalité du front, telle qu’elle est vécue par le soldat de base, pour en faire prendre conscience aux civils, ne sont en réalité en rien conformes à ce modèle. Les premières œuvres relevant de ce genre n’ont pas été le fait de militaires revenant de l’horreur du front, comme on le croit souvent, mais de deux poètes civils qui les ont écrites au tout début de la guerre.

  • The Graham Perkins Archive
    ka mate ka ora: a new zealand journal of poetry and poetics Issue 5 March 2008 The Kendrick Smithyman-Graham Perkins Archive 1942- 45: An Introduction Peter Simpson When Kendrick Smithyman was called up for military service with the New Zealand Army (1st Field regiment) in December 1941 he was 19 years old (born 9 October 1922), and had just completed two years’ teacher training at the Auckland Teachers College. Among his closest friends was Graham Perkins (born 1921), a fellow pupil at Point Chevalier Primary School (1931-34) and, later, at Seddon Memorial Technical College (1935-37); Smithyman had stayed on at high school for two more years (1938-39), before attending Teachers College in 1940-41. As school-boys, Smithyman and Perkins often went bike riding together, especially into the Waitakere Ranges a few kilometres further west from Point Chevalier, the suburb in West Auckland where they both lived. These bike rides are referred to in the well-known poem “Walk past those houses on a Sunday morning” (1943, Poem 2) one of Smithyman’s first-published and most often reprinted poems. He nostalgically recalls these innocent pre-war activities in some of his war-time letters to Perkins, as in that written from Levin in August 1943: Do you remember the holly trees & the paddock we used to play in behind your place? And walking to Avondale & through Mt Albert one Sunday night a few years back? The Sunday at Waiheke, and God knows how many Sundays in the ranges, lying in the grass beside that stump where you tried a stunt photograph? The line of the Manukau heads, and the run down from Titirangi to New Lynn? Some day we’ll have that sort of thing again.

Some time ago 'the Athenaeum Literary Department' started a series of booklets under the general title of The Westminster Classics'. They are sixpence each, and, if one may say so, rather atavistic in appearance. In fact, they are not unlike our own 'Pantheon' series, which — pace the glorious shades of Vondel, Hooft, Breero, Huygens and Staring — I cordi- ally detested when I was a youth, and which, having come to man's estate long ago, I still detest, for their unattractive get-up, for the prehistoric schoolroom atmosphere they suggest or exhale, and for their greyish or bluish paper, against which the small and worn type looks blurred. Unwilling as I am to admit any extenuating circumstances in the case of the chief benefiters by the Pantheon atrocities, — in view of the present inhuman dearth both of noble natures and of decent paper, I cannot find it in my heart to blame the management of the Athenaeum for their attempt to provide the lean of purse with something good to read on the principle of enclosing fair Portia's likeness in a casket of unseemly lead.
