Edmund Blunden byl básník, kritik a spisovatel, jehož poetická tvorba proslula nejvíce. Jeho rané zkušenosti z první světové války, kde sloužil na západní frontě, zásadně ovlivnily jeho dílo, které často zkoumá témata války, paměti a přírody s lyrickou citlivostí. Blundenův styl se vyznačuje klasickou formou a silným smyslem pro detail, často se obrací k anglickému venkovu jako zdroji útěchy a inspirace. Jeho rozsáhlá kritická práce také osvětluje díla jiných básníků, čímž přispívá k literárnímu odkazu své generace.
