Shadows of War: British Women's Poetry of the Second World War

by Anne Powell (Editor)

"Summaries of each year of the war and brief introductions including extracts from letters or diaries give the poems context; biographies of the poets, and indexes, add to the value of the work. Published to coincide with the sixtieth anniversary of the Second World War, Shadows of War offers a unique exploration of the period. It is a stirring testament to the strength and resilience of the human spirit, and a fitting tribute to all those who served at home and abroad - during the years of conflict."--BOOK JACKET.
