Description

Poetry of the First World War: An AnthologyThe First World War produced an extraordinary flowering of poetic talent. Its poets mark the conflict in ways that are both intensely personal and as enduring as any monument. Their lines have come to express the feelings of a nation about the horrors and consequences of war. This new anthology provides a definitive record of the achievements of the Great War poets and offers a fresh assessment of the work on the centenary of the Great War's outbreak.

The First World War produced an extraordinary flowering of poetic talent. Its poets mark the conflict in ways that are both intensely personal and as enduring as any monument. Their lines have come to express the feelings of a nation about the horrors and consequences of war.

This new anthology provides a definitive record of the achievements of the Great War poets and offers a fresh assessment of the work on the centenary of the Great War's outbreak. Focusing on the poets themselves, the book is organized by writer, not theme or chronology. It offers generous selections from the celebrated soldier-poets, including Wilfred Owen, Siegfried Sassoon, and Rupert Brooke, whilst also incorporating less well-known writing by civilian and women poets. It also includes two previously unpublished poems by Ivor Gurney.

A general introduction charts the history of the war poets' reception and challenges prevailing myths about the war poets' progress from idealism to bitterness. The work of each poet is prefaced with a biographical account that sets the poems in their historical context.

Although the War has now passed out of living memory, its haunting of our language and culture has not been exorcised. Its poetry survives because it continues to speak to and about us.

Love these lights! Switch and wiring harness is really nice! Lights aren’t too bright but definitely add a nice touch to a motorcycle.

Leaky but still working
Color: White Combo Beam, Color: White Combo Beam
I want to love them but they have started leaking after about 2 weeks. They are very bright, really nice throw, I like the low high function. One very mild desert rain in Utah - the next day one of the 2 is all fogged up. Maybe I just got a bad one? Install was a breeze, the unit is all in one with button switches included. I find the water leak to be pretty unacceptable this early on though, pretty disappointed ☹️

THE BEST SPEAKERS
Size: Pair, Size: Pair
These speakers are the best sounding bookshelf speakers i ever saw or heard. The sound from them is clear even from a cheap crosley suitcase record player and the bass is just awesome because you can actually hear it and it ties my songs together when i can actually hear the baseline. They work extremely well independent of a separate subwoofer because the bass is very strong! Another point of praise is that the decibel count is very high at 93 which means on very low power they perform loudly. Even on low volume from my Aiyima A07 Premium amplifier, they can be heard throughout my house. They look so cool and appear to be very high quality build and strength. They can be used for whatever you want (provided your amp is compliant) they're super easy to set up because all you do you just attach the sticky rubber feet on the bottoms and the grilles are magnetic for whatever aesthetics youre going for. Definitely worth the money (i bought them on sale for $230) very top notch speakers!

Very good speakers
Size: Pair
The r51ms are used to compliment my klipsch rp500m speakers and a 12 inch subwoofer in a large living room. By placing the r51m speakers to the outside walls , and the rp500m speakers to the interior, closer to the amplifier, and with the subwoofer set on deep bass only at just enough volume to barely compliment the sound, the large living room is more than sufficiently covered with at least true high fi quality sound, if not true budget audiophile sound. My entire 2.1 system is all klipsch. That's how I want it. I am using them with a high powered tube amplifier, so presence and clarity is awesome. Placement is critical. I was initially disappointed until I switched the r51ms to the spread to the outside walls position, and the rp500ms to the interior, closer to the amplifier. The difference was remarkable. The 2 different klipsch speakers, ie one a rp and the other a r series blend together perfectly with no clash whatsoever because of somewhat more refined sound on the rp500m speakers. The rp500m speakers do sound higher end , but they are supposed to, but with the speakers as outer r51m and inner rp500m, and the klipsch subwoofer at deep bass with just a touch of volume the result is sound of such quality that I can honestly say I can be content and satisfied with it. I can say my system is complete, and no further improvement, upgrades are needed. Tower speakers as primaries are not necessary because of the high quality of sound and the high sensitivity of the 4 klipsch bookshelf speakers and klipsch subwoofer. This saves me money during this rapid inflation period of time. I could easily say that what I have sounds more than good enough to be satisfied and content with without any desire to upgrade further at this point. Shipping speed was excellent via Amazon itself, and the box and speakers arrived in handled with care and new condition. I am not disappointed at all now that the r51m speakers are the outside speakers, spread apart from corner wall to wall to compliment the interior placements of my rp500m speakers by klipsch. Im all klipsch here and I love it. 5 stars categorically. As previously stated, I see no need for primary tower speakers, even in a large living room, and that equals high quality sound and savings of money at the same time. I recommend these speakers. They do more than just do sound quality wise.
