Abstract :

The present study compares two groups of World War I poets of English literature based on Antonio Gramsci viewpoints on comparative reading. The first group which includes characters such as Henry Newbolt, Rupert Brooke, Jesse Pope, Alice Meynell, Alio Lindsey and John McCray may be known as the poets of the government who composed pro-war poems at the beginning of the war. Siegfried Sassoon, Robert Graves, and Wilfred Owen who can be called poets opposing the policies of their regime and composed anti-war poems at the end of the war. Since the themes of homeland, religion and death are among the main features of war-related writings, this study examines the mentioned themes in the poets' poetries. In this regard, Gramsci's definitions of elites and their categorization into traditional and organic as well as hegemonic and anti-hegemonic concepts helps better understand of the intended reading.
