Armistice Day Commemoration: British Poets of the Great War

Commemorate the 100th anniversary of Armistice Day with a reading of World War I poetry by Robert Graves, Wilfred Owen, Isaac Rosenberg, and others. For British poets searching for a means to express the horror and heroism of the Great War, the shared cultural heritage of an education rooted the classics led many of them to images from Homer, Virgil, and scenes of the Trojan War. Readings performed by Emory University faculty Ron Schuchard, Goodrich C. White Professor of English Emeritus; Garth Tissol, professor of Classics; and Geraldine Higgins, associate professor of English.

Free and open to the public.
