The war poets and their legacy

Date: July 23rd 2010 - July 25th 2010
Location: Madingley Hall, Madingley, Cambridge

This course will attempt to re-evaluate the legacy of the war poets - in particular, of Owen, Sassoon, Blunden and Ivor Gurney - through a series of contextual discussions and close examination of the texts of major and less familiar poems.

The course has as its centrepiece a conducted visit to the first exhibition at the University Library of the recently-acquired Siegfried Sassoon archive.
