English Abstract

This thesis discusses war poetry through a selection of some of the most famous poets in this field: Wilfred Owen, Rudyard Kipling and Arab Abdel Rahim Mahmoud, for whom war is a central theme.

Wilfred Owen and Rudyard Kipling are major figures who tried to show their challenging personalities through and after the First War World.

Wilfred Owen expressed the truthful reality about that war due to the fact that he has been part of that war.

He witnessed the full horrors of it, the death of his fellow soldiers where brutality and savage images in his poems.

Kipling, at the beginning of that war, hailed it with an enormous sense of patriotism and encouraged young men to participate and fight in such a war that he considered noble.

However, after he witnessed war’s bloody, brutal and horrible results, he changed his view.

On the other hand, Abdel Rahim Mahmoud`s poetry is associated with the struggle against the British occupation of Palestine and its oppression ;he took part in the war to defend his homeland, Palestine.

People suffered from oppressive and tragic conditions from occupation there.

So those three poets lived during difficult circumstances and their poems were mirrors reflecting the life which they lived.

This thesis is divided into five chapters.

Chapter one introduces the concept of war and rebellion literature, while the second chapter reviews the related literature.

The third chapter highlights the methodology that the researcher followed in order to conduct the research.

The fourth chapter presents detailed analyse of the main poems of Wilfred Owen, Rudyard
