Title: Pacifism in English Poetry
Description: "After examining the words of sacred works and philosophical arguments supporting peace, this book traces chronologically the ways in which English poets have presented pacifist beliefs. It is ideal for study on Peace and Conflict Studies courses around the world, while for literary students it provides a unique, thematic history of English literature based on the pacifist theme. It is also a book that will provide inspiration for all readers who believe that war does not solve problems in the modern world, and that a fresh approach to conflict is necessary."--Jacket.
