| Title | A House in Festubert |
| Notes | Page 269 from a first edition of 'Undertones of War' (1928) showing the poem 'A House at Festubert'. The prose section of the volume was written, apart from the help of a few maps, entirely from memory while Edmund Blunden was teaching in Tokyo between 1924 and 1927. Annotations in Blunden's hand added later at an unknown date. Underlining 'Maha', he writes, '[The Prince of Darkness is a Gentleman, / Maha he's called, and Modo. / Edgar in King Lear.]' |
