No ownership marks. Illustrated in b/w. 251 pages clean and tight. This extensive and unusual collection, taken pedrominatly from lesser-known poetry volumes, approaches the subject of war from a valuable angle of incidence. Whereas Fussell may have been the first to devote serious attention to the homo-erotic element in 1914-1918 literature, Mr Taylor's single focus is this "secret sin", which has long been overlooked.
