![]() With these doubtless naivequestions came a series of others. The view that war poetry in the twentieth century actually means anti-war poetry appears inadequate given the enormous amount of poetry produced, and an aesthetic approach to poetry seems limited. The starting point for this book was the question of how to define war poetry in this century and, beyond that, how a good war poem is to be recognized. But they gave rise to an enormous amount of poetry, they used the lyric in a variety of ways and, beyond that, they affected the idea of poetry. They were new in that they were wars of machinery and of killing on an unprecedented scale they were wars fought by soldiers who were mostly civilians in uniform and as world wars they involved directly and on a massive scale people who were not soldiers at all. The two world wars are the major historical events of the present century.

They are the first performances that people could command at will in their own homes. These 19th-century recordings document a key moment in entertainment and technological histories. Quite literally, these recordings could not be heard this clearly when new. And it presents them with a sound quality unavailable to anyone at any time. With 100 discs (plus two bonuses) restored here, this compilation holds the largest audio library of these pioneer recordings ever assembled. They explain how the first gramophones, after initial positive response, came to be misunderstood as toys, when in fact they embodied cutting-edge technology that initially outyelled, eventually outsold, and ultimately outlived Edison's cylinder phonograph. Historians Stephan Puille and David Giovannoni and the GRAMMY-winning Archeophone team set the record straight about the discs' composition (it's not celluloid), their size (it's not five inches), the speed at which they were recorded (it's not what you think), their content (it's rarely Emile Berliner), and their purpose (it wasn't to capture timeless performances).
