Bemerkung:
The Price of Pity examines the various myths that have grown up around the war. It explores the historical and sociological myths of the Edwardian Summer, the supposedly banal nature poetry of the prewar Georgian poets and the image of the British public schools as factories for unthinking cannon-fodder. It analyses the top command of the British Army and the idea that the British were 'lions led by donkeys'. Using contemporary material, it examines the life, mood and morale of junior officers and private soldiers. It offers partial revaluation of the work of the most famous trench poets and examines in detail poetry from lesser-known authors, together with the work of authors not usually associated with the war.
