'Martin Taylor's introduction is a model of tactful evocation and historical sensitivity.' Andrew Motion, Observer
Synopsis:
This anthology of First World War poetry testifies to the flowering of an emotion, conceived and sustained in the most unlikely circumstances; the spectacle of men trying to manage almost unmanageable emotions. These fragments of love, compassion, courage and endurance still have a relevance for us today.

Book Description Hard Cover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Dust jacket complete, unclipped, slight wear to edges. Original brown cloth, bright silver on the spine. No ownership marks. Illustrated in b/w. 251 pages clean and tight. This extensive and unusual collection, taken pedrominatly from lesser-known poetry volumes, approaches the subject of war from a valuable angle of incidence. Whereas Fussell may have been the first to devote serious attention to the homo-erotic element in 1914-1918 literature, Mr Taylor's single focus is this "secret sin", which has long been overlooked. Small wonder, the complex emotional cluster created by (public school and middle-class) male admiration, power, the extremity and unspeakability of emotions contributed to the intimacy of mutual relationships. Set barely two decades after Wilde, this ticklish subject might well have been deliberately overlooked for far too long. It is much to the author's credit that his approach is characterized by a touch of diffidence whilst widening up the reader's insight into a sensitive aspect of life, death and writing at the front. In its domain, the introduction to the poetry collection is welcome extra, and an epitome of delicacy and expertise in its own right. Size: 8vo. Seller Inventory # 145804
