Publication details: Selwyn and Blount,1916,
Rare Book
A scarce book; perhaps odd for having very little wartime content - a fact perhaps explained by the author having 'enlisted in August 1914 but in October succumbed to acute rheumatism and was invalided out of the army, to his bitter disappointment; by 1916, when he was again fit, he had become a conscientious objector' (ODNB). Only the poem 'Mrs. Skeffyngton Calhus', whose subject has 'three sons killed in the war [...] she bred them for England', makes direct reference to the conflict. Goldring's novel of the following year, 'The Fortune', offered a more explicit formulation of his pacifist beliefs.
1916, pp. 64, foolscap 8vo, original maroon wrappers, a little creased and nicked where overhanging, printed labels to front and backstrip, the backstrip sunned, a few spots to edges, good
