Recensioner i media

'..through Silkin's subtle and informing consideration the poets take on a new individuality and stature.' - The Daily Telegraph 'a most impressive book.' - Times Higher Education Supplement 'How simulative of ever-fresh speculation is Jon Silkin's logically developed exploration, sometimes impassioned and often exciting.' - The Times 'Should find a permanent place in the literature dealing with the Great War.' - New Statesman
