The last three decades have witnessed the reassessment and expansion of the canon of First World War poetry; a process which has inevitably led critics to reconceptualise war and the vocabulary of war. The paper retraces the crucial phases of the critical debate around the construction and reception of this canon. It aims to show how discussions about this poetic production, which partakes of both cultural memory and literary tradition, have been subject to opposed ideological readings and heated debates over the role, function and language of war poetry.

Abstract
The last three decades have witnessed the reassessment and expansion of the canon of First World War poetry; a process which has inevitably led critics to reconceptualise war and the vocabulary of war. The paper retraces the crucial phases of the critical debate around the construction and reception of this canon. It aims to show how discussions about this poetic production, which partakes of both cultural memory and literary tradition, have been subject to opposed ideological readings and heated debates over the role, function and language of war poetry.
