Taking It Like a Man by Adrian Caesar offers a provocative and insightful reassessment of First World War poetry through the lenses of masculinity, sexuality, and cultural identity.
Focusing on major figures including Wilfred Owen, Siegfried Sassoon, Robert Graves, and Rupert Brooke, Caesar challenges conventional readings of war poetry by exploring the complex emotional and ideological frameworks that shaped their work.
The book examines themes of suffering, heroism, and identity, revealing how notions of masculinity and sexuality informed both the experience of war and its literary representation. Combining literary criticism with historical context, this study remains an important contribution to First World War scholarship and modern literary analysis.
