Publisher Notes
In his masterfully researched resurrection of the lives and work of twelve British novelists who came out of WWI, Hugh Cecil shows how these writers made sense of a world that seemed to have gone insane. Most of these writers have been forgotten; Cecil brings them back to life.
Media Reviews
"He here set himself to map and to name the influence of those wartime writers who might otherwise have been lost to us....I thought I knew this subject fairly well until I took up Hugh Cecil's beautiful book. No one venturing into the story or onto the territory in the future will be able to dispense with a copy in their knapsack."
