About This Item
Elkin Mathews, 1915. Printer Wrapper. Very Good. ICHOLS, Robert. Invocation: War Poems & Others. First edition. 41, [3]pp., half-title. A very good copy in original wrappers,. 8vo. Elkin Mathews. 1915. Robert Nichols was born into a prestigious upper-class family from Essex. He studied at Winchester College and Trinity College, Oxford. He left Oxford at the outbreak of World War I and served as a second lieutenant in the Royal Field artillery, though he only served in France during the summer of 1916 due to ill health. While his health prevented him from seeing much active duty, Nichols was one of the earliest recognized "soldier-poets" of World War I. His first books were widely known: Invocation (1915) and Ardours and Endurances (1917). They were more idealistic and patriotic than the work of Siegfried Sassoon or Robert Graves (both of whom were friends).
