Özet

This study tries to evaluate Rupert Brooke's "The Soldier," Edward Thomas' "Adlestrop" and Isaac Rosenberg's "Break of Day in the Trenches" by demonstrating the three poets' ideological stances during WWI. The difficulties of the trench life are apparent in their poems but what makes their poems different from each other is the ideology lying behind the poems. Brooke, Thomas, and Rosenberg represent three different perspectives on the popular patriotism and Englishness during the war period. While Brooke's poems function as a deliberate representation of the dominant government policies, the poems of Thomas and Rosenberg create an opponent voice by delineating the harsh conditions of the war period and hollowness of the policies about war.
