	This website is no longer being updated as the collection has been sold. It will however remain online for now for those who wish to use it for information purposes, although it will eventually be taken down.

Books containing poems contributed by Siegfried Sassoon published between the years 1960 and 1967

The dates of the books listed here indicate the date on which the actual book illustrated was published. Where they are not first editions I have added that date in brackets. It should be borne in mind that Siegfried Sassoon may not have had a poem included in earlier editions.

This Day and Age

This Day And Age - An Anthology of Modern Poetry in English, Selected by Stanley Hewett, B.A., published in 1960 (this copy being reprinted in 1962), by Edward Arnold (Publishers) Ltd. Sassoon contributed three poems: ‘At the Cenotaph,’ ‘Thoughts in 1932,’ and his excellent ‘The Case for the Miners.’

Again, this selection in a 1960’s anthology of ‘Modern’ poetry gives the lie to those who said Sassoon had become irrelevant after the war and that he was seen as old fashioned.

This book is another uncollated title, missing from Geoffrey Keynes’ bibliography of Sassoon.
