| Author | Gurney, Ivor (1890-1937) |
|---|---|
| Title | Toussaints / The Farm |
| Notes | Manuscripts in pencil in Ivor Gurney's hand. 'Toussaints' exists in another fair copy dated 'St Albans September 1918'. Gurney asked Marion Scott's opinion of the poem in a letter of September 1918. In 'The Farm' many lines of the poem have been crossed out, as Gurney works out the ending of the poem. It is mentioned in a letter of September 1918 to Marion Scott. Makes reference to Gurney's friends the Harvey family. Both poems were included in 'War's Embers' (1919). Written while Gurney was a patient at Lord Derby's War Hospital being treated for shell shock. Found in a burgundy notebook containing fair copies of poems made by Gurney. It appears to have been compiled primarily in 1918. |
