The Winnowing Fan: Poems On The Great War (1914) is a collection of poems written by Laurence Binyon, a renowned English poet, and scholar. The book was first published in 1914, the same year that World War I broke out, and it reflects the author's experiences and observations of the war. The poems in this collection are deeply moving and explore the themes of patriotism, sacrifice, loss, and grief. Binyon's writing style is lyrical and evocative, and his words paint vivid pictures of the horrors of war and the bravery of those who fought and died for their country. The title of the book, The Winnowing Fan, refers to a biblical metaphor that symbolizes the separation of good from evil, which is used to describe the sorting of the souls of the dead after the final judgment. This book is a powerful and poignant tribute to the soldiers who fought in World War I and a reminder of the devastating impact of war on individuals and society as a whole.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
