Rosenberg, Isaac
Rosenberg, Isaac (1890–1918), poet, attended the Slade School of Art. He published at his own expense a collection of poems, Night and Day (1912), and was encouraged by Bottomley, Pound, and others. In 1915 he published another volume of verse, Youth. In the same year he joined the army and was later killed in action. His poetry is forceful, rich in its vocabulary, and starkly realistic in its attitudes to war. His poor Jewish urban background gives the poems a note not found in the work of his fellow war- poets. Bottomley edited a selection of his poems and letters, introduced by Binyon, in 1922, but it was not until his Collected Works (1937) that his importance became generally accepted. (See also, war poetry.)
