Probably the best single collection by any individual British poet of the First World War in terms of consistency and sustained quality. Sassoon is detailed and moving in his depictions of the horrors of trench warfare, but equallly ferocious in his attacks on the British establishment who encouraged and supported the tactics which led to mass slaughter. A passionate and moving anti-war collection of poems Check out our other books at www.dogstailbooks.co.uk

Robert Graves was with Siegfried Sassoon when Sassoon threw his medal for bravery into the River Mersey in Liverpool to begin his protest at the tactics of the British Army in the First World War. Graves's own reputation as a war poet has waned, but at his best he matches the gruesomeness of Owen and the bitter sarcasm of Sassoon, while adding his own brand of mordant and sardonic wit. This book will be essential reading for anyone with an interest in the poetic response to the First World War. Check out our other books at www.dogstailbooks.co.uk

Not a lot happens in D H Lawrence's 'A Collier's Friday Night' which is one of its chief glories. Eschewing the neat plot-turns and engineered debates of the writers he called the 'rule and measure mathematical folk' (Shaw, Galsworthy, Barker), the 24-year-old Lawrence effectively threw away the rulebook, and created out of the habitual Friday night activities of a miner's family (counting out the pay, courting, baking bread, etc) a lovely sense of the inconsequential drift of ordinary experience.
