Eliot called him the 'most extraordinary' of the Great War poets. Rosenberg died on the Western Front in 1918 aged only twenty-seven, his tragic early death resembling that of many other well-known poets of that conflict. But he differed from the majority of Great War poets in almost every other respect - race, class, education, upbringing, experience and technique. He was a skilled painter as well as a brilliant poet. The son of impoverished immigrant Russian Jews, he served as a private in the army and his perspective on the trenches is quite different from the other mainly officer-poets.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJean Moorcroft Wilson focuses on the relationship between Rosenberg's life and work - his childhood in Bristol and the Jewish East End of London; his time at the Slade School of Art and friendship with David Bomberg, Mark Gertler and Stanley Spencer; and his harrowing life as a private in the British Army.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Orion Publishing Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":54226895896920,"sku":"9780753825778","price":21.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780753825778__67743f2a4fa72_f1175861-7436-463d-9d3f-1adc0de6fdb1.jpg?v=1741156646","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/isaac-rosenberg","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
