Photographs of "The Heart of Peace: And Other Poems" by Laurence Housman, held by UNT Special Collections. The light blue cover has the title printed at the top in dark blue, under it are six small hearts. Image 2, two pages with a poem titled "The Quick and The Dead" on page 16 and 17.

Photographs of Selected Poems by Lady Margaret Sackville, held by UNT Special Collections. The cover is dark brown with the spine tan in color, with the title on the spine in a worn label. Image 2, "The Peacemakers" and "The Fighters" poems on pages 136 and 137. Lady Margaret Sackville was a British poet born on 24 December 1881 in Mayfair, London. Her talents appeared early on her life: at six she wrote in verse and at sixteen she performed on the stage. The book’s history of ownership is revealed through a bookplate and a signature on the front end sheet. The bookplate bears the name of the first owner, William Marchbank, while the signature reveals the second owner Donald Thomas. The book is bound with light brown cloth on the spine over dark brown boards, and is printed on handmade woven paper, something that is quite unusual in 1919. Physically, the book is in excellent condition, and it does not appear that its first owner actually read the book: the leaves remain uncut, meaning that the pages are joined together at the top as they were when the large sheet of paper was folded to make the individual gatherings …

Photographs of "Songs of Peace" by Francis Ledwidge, held by UNT Special Collections. The dark beige cover is framed by a double dark blue line. The title and author is imprinted in dark blue lettering at the top and on the spine. Image 2, "The Ships of Arcady" and "After" poem on pages 104 and 105. Francis Ledwidge (1887-1917) was born in Slane, a small town 30 miles north of Dublin, and died in the Third Battle of Ypres in Belgium in 1917. Ledwidge supported the movement for Irish home rule before enlisting in Lord Dunsany's army regiment in 1914. The poems collected here, published in the last year of Ledwidge’s life and introduced by Dunsany, are organized in categories that reflect Ledwidge’s experience of the war—“In Barracks,” “In Camp,” “At Sea,” “In Serbia,” “In Greece,” “In Hospital in Egypt,” and “In Barracks” a second time. The poems themselves, however, have very little to say about the war, instead focusing on Irish locales like “heights of Crockaharna” (a rock formation near Slane) or Crewbawn (an Irish town on the River Boyne), but more often on old desires, lost loves, distant bird songs, and the drone of a night beetle’s wings. …

Photographs of "The Village Wife's Lament" by Maurice Hewlett, held by UNT Special Collections. The first image shows the dark grey cover of the book from the spine, the title on a label at the top. Image 2, pages 50 and 51. The top of page 50 is titled "ii", followed by a poem. The middle of page 51 is titled "iii" followed by another poem. English poet and novelist Maurice Hewlett (1861-1923) is rarely studied today, though his work around World War I often promoted socialism and universal suffrage. Perhaps the latter informs this collection, a series of poems told from the point of view of a woman, the eponymous village wife. As Hewlett notes in his introduction, World War I is “the greatest disaster of recorded time” and the village wife’s “reproaches strike at the heart of Mankind” (p. b1). By placing those reproaches in a women’s perspective, Hewlett attempts to chart the human toll of war, to show that soldiers are far from the only people affected. Thus, given the narrator and the subject matter, The Village Wife’s Lament, despite being written by a man, is included in the Women On War section of this exhibit. The …
