Using Peter Sack’s theories about the English Elegy, the chapter deals with the role that photographs play in the modern elegiac tradition and the work of mourning. It discusses three 20th-century poems in which photographs figure prominently. The poets discussed are Thomas Hardy, Ivor Gurney and Philip Larkin.
