Whitechapel Boy

More about the book

Isaac Rosenberg, a poet from a working-class, Yiddish-speaking Lithuanian Jewish family, created profound and poignant poetry that captures the essence of human conflict and aspiration. His life was tragically cut short in the trenches of France during World War I, marking a significant loss for English literature. The centenary of his death in April 2018 serves as a reminder of his impactful contributions to poetry, particularly in depicting the harsh realities of war.
