22 de may. de 2018 · An analysis of Edmund Blunden, Undertones of War and the early partial draft belatedly published under the title De Bello Germanico. It considers the relationship between memory and retrospection in his text, as well as distinctive stylistic features, especially elaborate metaphor and irony.

In Undertones of War, one of the finest autobiographies to come out of World War I, the acclaimed poet Edmund Blunden records his devastating experiences in combat.
If Edmund Blunden’s autobiographical account of his service in World War I is one of the best pieces of prose to come out of that maelstrom, and I for one think that it is, then John Greening’s edition will stand as the authoritative one for many years to come.
Taylor believes that Blunden's anger at Graves and his reluctance to acknowledge the possibility of another war was rooted in his experiences from the First World War which haunted him. Taylor writes that "Sassoon maintained that Blunden was the poet of the war most lastingly obsessed by it" (Taylor, 12).
The result was the autobiographical Undertones of War which has been hailed as Blunden's greatest contribution to the literature of war. It was published in November 1928, and follows the service of a young officer.
