Verse and Prose in Peace and War
Book • 1917
Verse and Prose in Peace and War is a posthumous collection published in 1917, two years after William Noel Hodgson's death at the Battle of the Somme.
The volume ran into three editions and contains both poetry and prose reflecting on themes of war, duty, and mortality.
The collection is particularly notable for including 'Before Action,' Hodgson's most famous poem, which was published just two days before his death and is widely believed to have been written with premonition of his fate.
