Product Description

Radio 4's 'A Good Read' September 1999 called Cicely Hamilton
'terrifically good...a lovely writer, very poignant, evoking the war is what she does as well as anything I've read.'

Book Description
William - an Englishman is Persephone Book No.1. It was 'written in a rage in 1918; this extraordinary novel...is a passionate assertion of the futility of war' (The Spectator, 1999). Its author, Cicely Hamilton, had been an actress and a suffragette and was well-known for her polemic Marriage as a Trade (1909). Upon the outbreak of the First World War she went to the Scottish Women's Hospital at Royaumant and was there until 1917; she then organised Concerts at the Front for the troops. William - an Englishman was written in a tent within sound of guns and shells. It is in one sense a very personal novel, animated by fury and cynicism, and in another a detached one; yet it is always 'a profoundly moving book' (Financial Times, 1999).
