Vine in 1914: War Poetry
Jeremy Vine recalls the events, voices and music of World War One.
The majority of war poetry was written after 1914, and most of it attempts to express the horror that was unfolding across Europe.
Rupert Brooke died in 1915, and The Soldier manages to convey, if not optimism, then at least the hope of future peace.
Wilfred Owen鈥檚 poem 1914 was drafted in that year, and does deal with the atrocities that were taking place. It was published in 1917.
