cvi, 224 pages. Illustrations. References. Notes. Bibliography. Index. Front DJ flap price clipped. Joseph Cohen was a Tulane University professor and administrator. Dr. Cohen, lived in New Orleans since his arrival in 1955 as a Newcomb College faculty member. He earned a doctorate at the University of Texas. As the university's chancellor, Ransom built a center for the study of all forms of contemporary culture. Dr. Cohen established the Wilfred Owen War Poetry Collection there in honor of the World War I poet who was killed in that conflict. Dr. Cohen taught at Newcomb from 1955 until he retired in 1991. In the 1960s and early 1970s, he was Newcomb's associate dean, and he set up the Newcomb Center for Research on Women. Working with the Jewish Studies Program, Dr. Cohen created the Gulf South Jewish Historical Archive. Among his four books were "Journey to the Trenches: The Life of Isaac Rosenberg, 1890-1918" and "The Poetry of Dannie Abse: Critical Essays and Reminiscences." Dr. Cohen also wrote 50 scholarly articles and 250 book reviews. He was a Japanese interpreter in the Army during World War II. Isaac Rosenberg has often been compared with Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon, although he was an artist as well as a poet. He died in action on the Western Front in 1918. This study is based on an exhaustive examination of Rosenberg's drawings, paintings, prose pieces, poetry, and letters, including hitherto unreleased family papers. The author established a close collaboration with the poet's sister and literary executrix. Extracted from a review by David Stern: This biography of Isaac Rosenberg comes in the midst of a sudden revival of interest in the young English poet who died in World War I at the age of twenty-seven. To the extent that he is today remembered at all, Rosenberg is best known for a few of his trench poems, like "Break of Day in the Trenches" and "Returning, We Hear the Larks," and as one of that group of young English poets, including Rupert Brooke and Wilfred Owen, who found the occasion for both their poetic careers and their early deaths in the war. Like Owen especially, Rosenberg possessed a genuine, highly idiosyncratic poetic gift. Of the English war poets, Rosenberg has always remained the most obscure and least understood. During his lifetime, Rosenberg had virtually no success in gaining recognition for his poems—the two slim volumes which he published at his own expense vanished without notice—and since his death, despite the efforts of several eminent critics, his reputation has continued to languish. Now, through an inexplicable coincidence—the simultaneous publication of three books and a spate of articles about him—Rosenberg is being re-"discovered." Joseph Cohen’s biography, the first to be written of this poet, provides a convincing, exhaustively researched account of Rosenberg’s life. The most appealing feature of the book is its "deep and abiding feeling" for Rosenberg, His modest, quiet dedication to his subject serves as a fitting tribute to a poet who wrested his achievement from circumstances of almost impossible adversity. Rosenberg was in the process of applying for a transfer to Vladimir Jabotinsky’s Jewish Battalion, which was then campaigning in Palestine and Egypt, when he was killed, leaving the question both of his transfer and of the future development of his poetry unresolved.
