About This Item
London: Heinemann. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1930. Hardcover. Black cloth, gilt lettering. Some spoting on the edges and endpages along with edge soil. The Dust Jacket is not price clipped, all extremities are worn, one short closed tear, spine toned, covers smudged. Now in an archival cover. There is an excellent blog review by 'Erika' at Sheffield Hallam University's collection of popular fiction published and enjoyed between 1900-1950. "I found the book to be strongest by far when it tackles World War I itself. Purple prose is left behind when there is a genuinely important subject. The bigger the tragedy, in fact, the more restrained the prose becomes; sentences are shorter, words plainer, and the previously frequent allusions to classical mythology are fewer. For example: ’We took to the road again. Four abreast marched with us a column of men, newly taken from their families, for gun meat. It was motley consignment of respectable fathers, still smelling of their trades, and raw from the homes they had just left.’ (p. 303.) ’Gun meat’ is a phrase that will stay with me. " ; 8vo.; 539pp. pages .
