Items related to Siegfried Sassoon: The Making of a War Poet
Synopsis
Widely recognized as the foremost authority on Siegfried Sassoon (1886-1967), Jean Moorcroft Wilson presents a single-volume biography of the poet, building on and adding to her earlier studies. Sassoon himself said that most people thought he died in the First World War; Wilsons work traces his entire life, before, during and after the war, showing how his writings gained in intensity, and how his literary, artistic and musical friendships illuminate a significant segment of 20th-century cultural life. Slightly off-mint.
