Some Issues of the First World War representation in Poetry. 

The 1st World War as a cultural, social and literary watershed.

Rereading in class of Andrew Motion's 'Harry Patch' poems (2009) or the 21st century revisiting the experience of the Great War.  

A first introduction to Edward Thomas, 'Rain' as well as Isaac Rosenberg's 'Break of Day in the Trenches'. The war's new reality. Total war and the quest for a new poetical language.
