The War Poets and the Diary of an Ordinary Tommy: Convergence, Class and Transmission

Margaret Parry

4.9/5 (21484 ratings)

Description:The book is a highly original and personal response to the diary of an RAMC soldier recording his experiences at the Somme and Arras. Written by his granddaughter, who never knew him, she has followed in his footsteps during the engagements of 1916 and 1917, from the front lines to rest places and transit camps. She draws on her encounters with local people, whose memories are still alive, to write a compelling narrative which combines history and poetry to convey ‘the truth about war’. Not the least surprising element in the narrative is the link she draws between her own literary vocation and the first stirrings of poetry, a hundred years ago, in a working-class soldier whose experiences, through a new cultural awakening, transcended the horrors of war.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
