Siegfried Loraine Sassoon, CBE, MC (8 September 1886 - 1 September 1967) was an English poet, writer, and soldier. Decorated for bravery on the Western Front, he became one of the leading poets of the First World War. His poetry both described the horrors of the trenches and satirised the patriotic pretensions of those who, in Sassoon's view, were responsible for a jingoism-fuelled war. Sassoon became a focal point for dissent within the armed forces when he made a lone protest against the continuation of the war in his "Soldier's Declaration" of 1917, culminating in his admission to a military psychiatric hospital. Sassoon later won acclaim for his prose work, notably his three-volume fictionalised autobiography, collectively known as the "Sherston trilogy".

The life of Siegfried Sassoon has been recorded and interpreted in literature and film for over half a century. He is one of the great figures of the First World War, and Memoirs of a Fox-Hunting Man and Memoirs of an Infantry Officer are still widely read, as are his poems, which did much to shape our present ideas about the Great War. Sassoon was a genuine hero, a brave young officer who also became the war's most famous opponent, risking imprisonment and even a death sentence by throwing his Military Cross into the Mersey. He was friend to Robert Graves, mentor to Wilfred Owen and much admired by Churchill. But Sassoon was more than the embodiment of a romantic ideal; he was in many senses the perfect product of a vanished age. And many questions about his character, unique experience and motivations have remained unanswered until now.Siegfried Sassoon’s life has been recorded and interpreted in literature and film for over half a century. But this poet, First World War hero, friend to Robert Graves and mentor to Wilfred Owen, was more than the embodiment of a romantic ideal. Passionately involved with the aristocratic aesthete Stephen Tennant, married abruptly to the beautiful Hester Gatty, estranged, isolated, and a late Catholic convert, his private story has never before been told in such depth. Egremont discovers a man born in a vanished age, unhappy with his homosexuality and the modernist revolution that appeared to threaten the survival of his work, and engaged in an enduring personal battle between idealism and the world in which he moved. Shortlisted for the 2005 James Tait Black Memorial Prize for Autobiography

Sassoon was a paradox as a human being. A sensitive and cultivated man and a world-famous poet when still in his twenties, he was also a ferocious fighter on the battlefield, dubbed "Mad Jack" by his men and a holder of the prestigious Military Cross. Disenchanted by the wastage and slaughter he had experienced, in 1917 he wrote a denunciation of the war and was promptly shut up in an asylum in Craiglockhart, Britain, where he composed many of the poems that appear in this book. Later he returned to the front and was shot in the head, but survived and enjoyed a prolific and diverse writing career, somewhat annoyed (as Hart-Davis tells us) that he had gone down in history as a "war poet." Reading this book, however, it is easy to see why.

Siegfried von Vegesack (1888 bis 1974) ist heute ein nahezu vergessener Autor. Seine Werke, zahlreiche Erz hlungen, Theaterst cke und Romane, sind beinahe ausnahmslos vergriffen. Diese Untersuchung widmet sich seinem erz hlerischen Hauptwerk, "Die Baltische Trag die". Sie erschien zwischen 1934 und 1936 im Deutschen Reich und erz hlt von der wechselvollen Geschichte Lettlands zwischen 1890 und etwa 1920 und dem Schicksal seiner deutsch-baltischen Bewohner. Sie handelt von Krieg und Revolution und kann als Pl doyer eines friedlichen Miteinanders verstanden werden in einer Zeit, in der in Deutschland Diktatur und Willk r herrschten. Absichten, Form und Inhalt der Romantrilogie einer kritischen literaturwissenschaftlichen W rdigung zu unterziehen und Vegesack den heutigen Lesern wieder ins Ged chtnis zu rufen, ist Ziel dieser Untersuchung. Die vorliegende Abhandlung ist der erste Versuch einer literaturwissenschaftlichen Gesamtbetrachtung der "Baltischen Trag die".
