War poems and other verses
Vernède enlisted with the British Army as a second lieutenant at the start of World War I, even though he was over the maximum age of service. He served in France, was wounded in 1916 in the Battle of the Somme, and returned to the front upon his recovery. Vernède died shortly after being wounded by machine gun fire while leading an advance at Havrincourt in April 1917. Vernède’s war poems were filled with the patriotic optimism of the early war years, but it would be unfair to describe him as a propagandist as he never published his poetry. This, his only collection, was published shortly after his death. (Summary by KevinS) [chương_files]

English Bards and Scotch Reviewers
English Bards and Scotch Reviewers was first published anonymously in 1809 with Byron only identified as the author in the 2nd edition. Byron wrote this satire after his first book of poems Hours of Idleness received “strong censure” in the Edinburgh Review. Byron used heroic couplets in imitation of Alexander Pope’s The Dunciad to attack the reigning poets of romanticism, including Wordsworth and Coleridge. Byron suppressed this work after the 5th edition, possibly because he came to regret some of the criticism that he had made. (Summary by Alan Mapstone and wikipedia) [chương_files]
