In his draft Preface, Wilfred Owen includes his well-knownstatement 'My subject is War, and the pity of War. The Poetry is inthe pity'.

This volume contains all Owen's best-knownpoems, only four of which were published in his lifetime. He waskilled a week before the Armistice in November 1918.

Lyrical Ballads (1798 and 1800) constituted a quiet poeticrevolution, both in its attitude to its subject-matter and itsanti-conventional language. Those volumes and Wordsworth's andColeridge's other major poems were central to the Romantic periodand remain classic texts in our own time. Wordsworth focuses on'the essential passions of the heart' and achieves a penetratinginsight into love and death, solitude and community. Coleridgeexplores a more fantastic and dreamlike imagination and also writespoems of quiet, conversational meditation. Both poets look with afresh and visionary eye at the human and the natural world. Theyexamine the condition of men and women at the extreme edge ofsociety; they are also subtle analysts of their own minds and theprocesses of introspection and memory. This volume contains all ofLyrical Ballads (1798) with Wordsworth's Preface of 1800/1802, anda wide-ranging selection of both poet's other work, includingvirtually all their best known and discussed shorter poems.

The two political classics in this book are the product of a time of intense turmoil in Chinese history. Dating from the Period of the Warring States (403-221BC), they anticipate Machiavelli's The Prince by nearly 2000 years. The Art of War is the best known of a considerable body of Chinese works on the subject. It analyses the nature of war, and reveals how victory may be ensured. The Book of Lord Shang is a political treatise for the instruction of rulers. These texts are anything but armchair strategy or ivory-tower speculation. They are serious, urgent and practical responses to the desperate situations in which they were written. They have been immensely influential both inside and outside China.
