| Summary | "A Treasury of War Poetry: British and American Poems of the World War 1914-1917" edited by George Herbert Clarke is a collection of war poetry compiled during the early 20th century, specifically reflecting on World War I. This anthology brings together a variety of poems from British and American poets, capturing the complex emotions and experiences surrounding the war, including themes of patriotism, sacrifice, and camaraderie among nations. At the start of this anthology, the editor provides an introduction discussing the dual nature of human experience regarding war— both its violent realities and the spiritual or philosophical inquiries it inspires. The opening portion presents a range of poets including Rudyard Kipling, Henry van Dyke, and Robert Bridges, and touches on various topics such as America's role in the war, reflections on freedom and liberty, and poignant memorials to fallen soldiers. The personal and collective struggles in these poems paint a vivid picture of the war's impact, setting the tone for a powerful exploration of human resilience amidst conflict.
