«The Oxford Book of War Poetry» is the anthology of war poetry edited by Jon Stallworthy, published by OUP Oxford in paperback, in English.
The anthology brings together 250 poems spanning centuries of conflict, from David's lament and the Iliad to the two world wars. It includes Byron, Hardy, Owen, Sassoon and Heaney, and shows the shift from songs that celebrated war to darker, more critical responses to the inhumanity of conflict.
It belongs to the Oxford Books of Prose & Verse series; this reissue was published on 15 December 2008. The work originally appeared in 1984.
For readers of poetry and military history, as well as for an academic audience.
