The First World War was a time of great loss of life and bloodshed. Wilfred Owen, a soldier fighting with the British Army, wrote the poem Dulce et Decorum est to describe, possibly to the public, the horrific consequences of taking part and fighting in the war. During the poem, he describes the aftermath of a poison gas attack, and the injuries sustained by a soldier whom had inhaled the deadly substance.

They used irony, derision, and wit to attack human vice or folly.

The Great Divorce was clearly intended to contradict the idea that a person cannot have both Heaven and Hell, an idea expressed in the revolutionary text of William Blake: “The Marriage of Heaven and Hell”. In fact, the Great Divorce was centered around this theme and the fact that a choice must be made between the two states of existence. Lewis tells us through his dream that although our fate is predestined, we still have freedom of choice. He explains that this is because of the fact that we can only see a small portion of time-space through what he refers to as “the opposite end of the telescope”.
The Court and Sir Thomas Wyatt During the 16th Century, English poetry was dominated and institutionalised by the Court. Because it 'excited an intensity that indicates a rare concentration of power and cultural dominance,' the Court was primarily responsible for the popularity of the poets who emerged from it.
There were many influential poets that have existed throughout history. William Shakespeare is a prime example of an influential poet. There are also a huge amount of styles that poetry have. There are some type of poetry where one follows rigid guidelines like sonnets, where one follows a specific rhyme scheme and an iambic pentameter, or a haiku, which has three lines and the first and last line have five syllables while the second line has seven. There are other types where one has no requirements, and writes has they please, like free verse poetry. That is not all that there is to poetry.
