FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description First published in 1923, Exile and Other Poems is an important, poignant collection from one of the foremost Imagist war poets. Penned after witnessing the horrors of the frontline during the First World War, Aldingtons brutal, honest verse lays bare unimaginable experiences.The first part of the collection, Exile, explores the poets survivors guilt, post-traumatic stress and sense of alienation. The collection continues with a Songs for Puritans and Songs for Sensualists, pastiches of seventeenth and eighteenth-century love poetry, and a series of more personal poems exploring the natural world, from which Aldington drew reassurance.Enriched with a fascinating introduction and explanatory notes by leading Aldington scholars Elizabeth Vandiver and Vivien Whelpton, this centenary edition seeks to place Exile firmly back on the map of war poetry, from which it has been missing for too long. Author Biography Richard Aldington (1892–1962) was an English writer and war poet associated with the Imagist movement, and his fifty-year writing career covered poetry, fiction, literary criticism and biography. Aldington joined up in 1916 and was sent to the front. Traumatised by his experiences, he sought an outlet in verse. Exile and Other Poems, first published in 1923, was his first substantial attempt to process the trauma of his experience in poetry, and stands as a monument in war poetry. Elizabeth Vandiver edited Richard Aldingtons Exile and Other Poems with Viven Whelpton. Viven Whelpton edited Richard Aldingtons Exile and Other Poems with Elizabeth Vandiver. Review This new edition, beautifully produced by Renard for Aldingtons centenary, would be worth having just for the first-rate introduction and the detailed background notes which give a very clear summmary of his troubles. -- John Greening * PN Review * Details ISBN1804470708 Author Vivien Whelpton Pages 100 Publisher Renard Press Ltd Year 2023 ISBN-13 9781804470701 Format Paperback Publication Date 2023-11-01 Imprint Renard Press Ltd Subtitle Centenary Edition Country of Publication United Kingdom AU Release Date 2023-11-01 NZ Release Date 2023-11-01 UK Release Date 2023-11-01 Audience General DEWEY 821.912 ISBN-10 1804470708 Edited by Vivien Whelpton We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
