THE WAR POETS

The

The first world war was welcome with entusiasm. A lot of young men volunteered for military service in the early mounths of war, and they were the first to apprehend the horror and suffering of war. Young poets, in this period, dealt with horrors of modern warefore in choise of violent, everyday language.

There are two kinds of war poets the first make an esaltation of war as we can see in Rupert Brooke the second felt the no sense of war as we can see in Wilfred Owen.

RUPERT BROOKE

Was born into a well-to-do academic family and he was educated in a king's college,Cambrige.He was good student and athlete. Brooke died in 1915 at the age of 28 because he contracted blood-poisoning. Probably he wrote his sonnet during the war because they had an anthusiasm that most soldiers and poets eventually lost. How brooke's poetry would have changed in tone and imaginary we can only guess. Brooke is remembered as a war poets, who ispered patriotism in the eary mounths of the great war . he assumed a symbolic role that turned into the myth of a young and beautiful fallen. The thought to which he gave expression in the very few sonnets which he had left, moving forward into the hordest, cruellest of oll the wars that man have fought. They were a whole history and revelation of Rupert Brooke himself

THE SOLDIERS

The speacker is the poet he is speaking to foreign, the England is view as glory its quality are the power and superiority. The poem is nostalgic, sentimental and patriotic, he is not afraid of death, the grove will be in England, he will enrich the foreign soil with his dust of English origin, he will be buried in England earth. There is an emphasis on war, he exalt English race. The death suggest me: glory, immortality and peace. In this poem the principal theme is the exaltation of the homeland, think always his country and wants to die there.

WILFER OWEN

In Wilferd Owen'works positive emotion of love, admiration are present as well. In a war hospital  he produced his most brillant poems. He had a negative vision of war and he died in action one week before the armistice.he started to write poetry under the influence of Keat's sensual style. He used many assonance and alliteration this give moral force which people must suffer and die.

his sonnet DULCE ET DECORUM EST based on the poet's experiece of horrors of war. The latin title is a quotation from latin poet HORACE.

In the first two stanzes there are images of soldiers who escape and who drowned by gas, then  there are same consideration of poet. There is a vision of soldiers and the invitation to consider war's horror.

He call friend a common man. There are similes and metaphors, and he detect the tecnique of quotation.

KEATS

He is the greatest member of the second generation of romantic poets.he was born in London in 1795.in 1818 ENDYMION appeared. This long mythological poem is full of sensation.

The contemplation of beauty is the central theme of keats's poetry. keats identifies beauty and truth as the only type of knowledge. the poet, in keats's view, is endowed with what he called "negative capability", that is the abilily to experience
