London: Hutchinson, 1940. First edition, first printing. This is a fine copy. Softcover, with bright design in red, white, and blue. This volume is dedicated to Winston Churchill “without bothering so busy a man for his permission” for his speeches, which “roused all the poetry in our race”. No wear to note, but some very faint spots to the prelims. This copy is inscribed on the front fly leaf by the author: ‘Dorothy with love from Jack 1940’. This inscription is not attributed, but it is likely Dorothy Margaret Stuart, who contributed to Squire’s ‘English Men of Letters’ series with a book on Horace Walpole. This is a fine copy. A neat collection of verse, the subject being the First and Second World Wars. Squire was active in both wars, writing prolifically in response to the conflicts. Though when this volume was published, he too would be personally affected by the Second World War – his son, Maurice, was killed in action in 1943. John Collins Squire (1884-1958) was an English journalist, playwright, a leading poet of the Georgian school, and an influential critic and editor. Squire was educated at Blundell’s School and at St. John’s College, University of Cambridge. He was appointed literary editor of the New Statesman in 1913, and acting editor in 1917. From 1919 to 1934 he was editor of the London Mercury, which was to become the unofficial organ of the Georgian poets. He was knighted in 1933.…
