My U.K. Experiences - No. 7:
After a long delay, once again I've found a slot in my busy workload to write about my personal memories of the big bands in the UK.There are so many big bands that were well known in the UK between the years 1930 to 1960 that it's difficult to choose which to relate about.Yes, we've probably all heard of Ted Heath and Syd Lawrence but, small as the UK might be, there were dozens of bands throughout the period that never got any further than their local area county.This was probably due to the enthusiasm for dance halls in most towns. Some fine musicians played in these bands and many only performed once or twice a week whilst doing "the day job". Here, in Worthing, West Sussex, one such band was Roy Affleck who played at the Assembly Hall or the Pavilion Theatre. During the day he was a journalist working on the local Herald and Gazette newspapers. Roy died aged 90 in April 2003 and the Brighton & Hove Argus reported "Friends and relatives of former bandleader Roy Affleck did the conga on the lawn of Worthing Crematorium at his funeral.... Earlier they had dispensed with hymns in favour of a non-religious service featuring jazz songs, including Stranger On The Shore, which was recorded at Roy's final concert at the Assembly Hall in Worthing in 1977."Here, on the southern coastal strip of England, many hotels had their own ballrooms open to nonresidents. No doubt many other larger towns around the UK did the same.Well-known big bands got their publicity mainly from becoming broadcasting bands on the BBC Light Programme.BBC Broadcasting House, Portland Place, London,included 22 sound-proofed studios.Following the end of the war, the long-wave frequencies of the pre-war National Programme became the BBC Light Programme, which launched on Sunday, 29th July 1945.This gave many opportunities to listen to music played by either in-house BBC orchestras or the bigger names known all over the U.K.Billy Cotton and His BandThe Billy Cotton Band Show (1949-1968) was a popular Sunday afternoon radio programme. Band leader Billy Cotton started each show with the cry, “Wakey, Wakey!”, followed by the band’s signature tune, Somebody Stole My Gal. Alan Breeze sang (and sometimes slaughtered) the hits of the day. It was a mix of humour along with excellent musicianship, which later became a big hit on prime time television in 1956.One of the biggest opportunities for listening to bands during the daytime was "Music While You Work," originally broadcast on the BBC General Forces Programme during the war from June 1940 and after the war continued on the Light Programme until 1967.I recall listening to Nat Temple, Syd Phillips, Harry Leader, Jimmy Leach, Harold Geller (hmmmm, I wonder what became of his daughter, Hazel?), Jack White, Billy Ternent and many others during this time.A link to this is www.mastersofmelody.co.uk where a good deal of other information is available.Till the next time and I hope it won't be too long. Enjoy your music!Lionel LeightonWorthing, West SussexUnited KingdomEmail: Contact MeWeb Site: Welcome to Sunny Worthing

Clara Butt, a great contralto.:
Many selections sung by Clara Butt, a very great artist:
1.Softly and gently (Elgar:The Dream of Gerontius)2. Where corals lie (Elgar:Sea Pictures)3.The Enchantress (Hatton)4.The Leaves and the Wind (Cooper)5.The Sweetest flower that blows (Hawley)6. Barbara Allen (Traditional)7. Kathleen Mavourneen (Crouch)8. Ye Banks and braes (Scottish air)9.The Promise of life (Cowen)10.En priere (Faure)11.The Birth of the flowers(Lehmann)12. Lusinghe piu care (Handel:Alessandro)13. Rend'il sereno (Handel:Sosarme)14. Ombra mai fu (Handel:Serse)15, In questa tomba oscura (Bethoven)16.Mon coeur s'ouvre a ta voix (Samson et Delilah)17. Che faro senza Euridice (Orfeo)18. Brindisi from Lucrezia Borgia (Donizetti) ( 66 min.)
Clara Butt was born in Southwick, Sussex. Her father was Henry Albert Butt who was a sea captain and who was born in 1848 in Saint Martin, Jersey, Channel Islands. He married Clara Hook in 1869, who was born in Shoreham, the daughter of Joseph Hook, mariner (1861 and 1871 census, in 1881 in New Shoreham workhouse). In 1880 the family moved to Bristol and Clara was educated at South Bristol High School, where her singing talent was recognised and encouraged. At the request of her headmistress, she was trained by the bass Daniel Rootham and joined the Bristol Festival Chorus, of which he was musical director. In January 1890 she won a scholarship to the Royal College of Music. In her fourth year she spent three months studying in Paris at the expense of Queen Victoria. She also studied in Berlin and Italy.
She made her professional dÃbut at the Royal Albert Hall in London in Sir Arthur Sullivanâs The Golden Legend on 7 December 1892. Three days later she appeared as Orfeo in Gluckâs Orfeo ed Euridice at the Lyceum Theatre. Bernard Shaw wrote in The World that she âfar surpassed the utmost expectations that could reasonably be entertainedâ (14 December 1892).
She returned to Paris and made further studies with Jacques Bouhy (the teacher of Louise Homer and Louise Kirkby Lunn) and later with the soprano Etelka Gerster in Berlin.
Camille Saint-SaÃns wanted her to study Dalila, but due to laws then extant forbidding the representation of biblical subjects on the British stage, nothing came of it.
Soon she had acquired an excellent reputation, aided by her physical presence - she was 6 feet 2 inches tall. She made many gramophone recordings, often accompanied by the (uncredited) pianist Miss Lillian Bryant. She was primarily a concert singer and only ever appeared in two opera productions, both of Gluck's Orfeo ed Euridice, in 1892 and 1920.
Edward Elgar composed his Sea Pictures for contralto and orchestra with Clara Butt in mind as the soloist, and she sang at the first performance at the Norwich Festival on 5 October 1899, with the composer conducting.
In 1900 she married the baritone Kennerly Rumford, and thenceforth often appeared with him in concerts. The couple eventually had three children two sons and a daughter. Besides singing in many important festivals and concerts, she was honoured with royal commands from Queen Victoria, King Edward VII, and King George V. She made tours to Australia, Japan, Canada, the United States and to many European cities.
During the First World War she organised and sang in many concerts for service charities, and for this she was appointed Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE) in the 1920 civilian war honours. That year she sang four performances of Gluck's Orphee at Covent Garden under the baton of Sir Thomas Beecham. According to The Times she 'played fast and loose with the time and spoilt the phrasing' and it appears not to have been a success.
Butt's three sisters were also singers. One of them, Ethel Hook, became a famous artist in her own right and made some superb solo recordings.
In later life Clara Butt was dogged by tragedies. Her elder son died of meningitis while still at school, and the younger committed suicide. During the 1920s she became seriously ill of cancer of the spine, but her faith gave her the strength to continue working. She made many of her later records seated in a wheelchair. She died in 1936 at the age of 63 at her home in North Stoke, Oxfordshire, as a result of an accident she suffered in 1931.
Sir Thomas Beecham once said, jokingly, that "on a clear day, you could have heard her across the English Channel".
Not all serious musicians admired her booming contralto, which can be mistaken for a man's voice on some recordings, or her rather 'populist' approach to her art.

My UK Experiences - No. 6:
After my last post George suggested I give a mention to Ted Heath & His Music. Here we go.Ted HeathGeorge Edward "Ted" Heath was born in London 30th March 1902 and passed away 18th November 1969 (aged 67).He was the most famous English bandleader of the 40s, 50s and early 60s. He played trombone at the age of 14 and soon made a name for himself playing in the bands of Jack Hylton, Ambrose, Sidney Lipton and Geraldo before forming his own orchestra in 1944 for BBC broadcasts.From 1956 the Orchestra were regular visitors to the United States.My personal collection of Ted Heath and His Music consists of not only CDs but original 78s with my favourite being the birthday present from my parents at the age of 14yrs in 1949.This was a recording of Tad Dameron's "Lady Bird" and Charlie Ventura's "Euphoria", recordings that I played over and over again for many weeks on our radiogram. Much to the annoyance of the rest of my family.I have several later recordings of Lady Bird but I'm sure that I can hear slight differences to the original arrangement on that old 78 which I much prefer. It is hoped that I'll find time and the expertise to transfer my 78s to MP3s in the future to enable to upload them.Tad Dameron (died 8th March 1965 aged only 48) was a staff arranger for Ted Heath for a time.It was my privilege to be able to listen and dance at many of the venues where the orchestra played such as The Empire Rooms in Tottenham Court Road, London and The Orchid Ballroom in Purley, Surrey.After Ted Heath died the Orchestra continued to tour and perform until the final concert at The London Festival Hall in 2000, under the direction of Don Lusher (trombone, born Peterborough, U.K. 6th November 1923). Don Lusher received an OBE in 2003.As for Charlie Ventura, he was a Tenor and Baritone sax player who died 17th January 1992 aged 76yrs.Enjoy your music!The Ted Heath OrchestraLionel LeightonWorthing, West SussexUnited KingdomEmail: Contact MeWeb Site: Welcome to Sunny Worthing

My U.K. Experiences - Part 5:
Exposure in the U.K. to the American big bands, with the exception of Glenn Miller, was limited in the 1940s. I would think this was due mainly to the war and restrictions on listening to foreign broadcasts. I believe that the musician unions on both sides of the "big pond" prevented exchange visits and work permits were difficult to obtain.It was a very long time ago, so my memory doesn't allow for knowing exactly the situation on that score. Perhaps others can respond with more details.So our big bands were home grown. The BBC provided us with many opportunities to enjoy such bands as Henry Hall, Jack Payne, Billy Cotton, Nat Temple, Lou Preager, Sid Phillips, Billy Ternant, Stanly Black, Geraldo, Ambrose to name just a few.One such band was the Joe Loss Orchestra. Joshua Alexander Loss was born in London June 22, 1909 and died June 6, 1990. The Joe Loss Orchestra was formed in 1930 and played at the Astoria Ballroom, Charing Cross Road, London, and then later at the Kit-Cat Club. The band made its first radio broadcast in 1933. He also played to the British Expeditionary Force in France in 1940 and continued to entertain the public well into the 1980s.The orchestra was one of the successful acts of the U.K. big band era in the 1940s. Hits included "In the Mood", "Wheels Cha Cha", "The Stripper" and "March of the Mods" (The Finnjenka Dance).The band still tours the U.K. under the direction of Todd Miller and was recently in my hometown of Worthing. Unfortunately, I was unable to be there that night, but after reading the local newspaper reports, it seems it still has a large following of fans.An example of the orchestra in the very early days is available on You Tube:A Discography can be found on www.45-rpm.org.uk/dirj/joel.htmNow listen to Joe Loss and His Orchestra perform one of the most popular songs of World War Two on both sides of the Atlantic, A Nightingale Sang on Berkeley Sqaure:Enjoy your music!Lionel LeightonWorthing, West SussexUnited KingdomEmail: Contact MeWeb Site: Welcome to Sunny Worthing

The Science of Homophobia:
Barak Obama was elected along with the promise of Change.
This entirely undefined promise worked so well because the George W.
Bush Administration was corrupt, immature, inexperienced and a fatal
cancer to democracy.It's not correct to claim we cared not where we went. The Bush years had taught us well that USA foreign policy had a history of,
and indeed a skill in, abusing innocent millions to ensure The American
Dream lived on. We finally accepted - like accepting the sting of a
slap in the face - that crime and governance polluted the USA and
Australia, with the UK not far behind. It is correct however, to
conclude that perhaps only the deluded, deceptive and the
pathologically optimistic saw only "good" in the latest USA President
to do God's work. Also, simple pragmatism suggested if we chose to run
we should look ahead - not over our shoulder - and by election time one
was aware Bush was to be voted out much as Howard was in Australia.Hence the sense many are trying to make of President-Elect Barak Obama's appointment of Reverand Rick Warren to deliver the invocation at the January 2009 inauguration. Warren who has a knack for improvising, has likened abortion to the holocaust and homosexuals to pedophiles. In fact, as founder and senior pastor of Saddleback
church, he preaches it, along with the inferiority of governments,
businesses and education he hasn't approved. Rev. Debrah W. haffner,
Director, Religious Institute on Sexual Morality, Justice and Healing -
an interfaith organisation wrote on December 23rd:
So, I don't know how to make sense that
Rev. Rick Warren was chosen for this honor. Some commentators have
suggested it was a symbolic way of reaching out to the evangelical
community that overwhelmingly did not vote for him. People said the
selection of the Rev. Joseph Lowery, a civil rights hero, to do the
benediction balances out Rev. Warren, showing the range of faith values
in the US. Others suggest that it was shrewd politically, as Rev.
Warren's acceptance of the offer was an indication to the conservative
community that they were to work with the new president. Others have
said to let this go, because it is the appointments and actions that
matter; after all, who remembers who prays at the inauguration. The
conversation on my blog has been fascinating. Lots of people are trying
to understand.
But, I keep coming back to the fact that the Rev. Warren has compared
abortion to the Holocaust and homosexuals to pedophiles and incest
perpetrators. I keep coming back to the fact that the Saddleback web
site says that homosexuality is sinful; read it yourselves. I can't
forget that until two days ago, it also said that people who were
homosexual were not welcome as members of the church community: what
happened to "love your neighbor as yourself?" Did Jesus ever exclude
anyone from worship?
Well, it could be a handy way to snooker the Evangelical gangs and
sooth their anger at being dismissed not just by most thinking people,
but also by many previous supporters. Dr. Sylvia Rhue wonders what the values we want to see will become, whilst others are more critical. If you want Obama to "stand up for gay Americans", you can tackle a template letter here.
It pays to remember exactly what the more obvious corruption he can
indeed change for ever actually is. With Bush, Creationists with
child-like views of the world were hand picked and placed in positions
of power. Educational madness like the silver ring thing, virgin pledges and curing addiction and immorality with prayer, siphoned off hundreds of millions. Research proved conclusively
that faith based sex education failed, with participants having more
sex, using less protection, taking more risks and suffering assault at
higher rates than students not fed ignorance - or rings with magical
bible passages. Legal retribution of sorts for violation of the First
Amendment requirement to be separate from religion was secured by the American Civil Liberties Union. Evidence and education was shelved for faith, belief, ideology and abuse of the reality based community. Lackeys appeared in other nations, perhaps meaning well but simply misleading peers and unwittingly
making fools of themselves. We began to see the first chinks in the
integrity of enshrining the right to religious freedom as a human
right, when it was used to ultimately ruin, redirect or indeed take
lives in secure democratic nations. Pure subjectivity began to buoy
rapid reinterpretation of scripture using deadly subjectivity. Plus a
nice dollar could be made from repeating useless programmes. "God did it", or worse, "God commands it".Old themes of scientifically proven
deviance, long since relegated to bigotry, intolerance and divisiveness
began to re-emerge. The powerful evangelical lobbyists may often be
dismissed around the world as liars and charlatans. But in the USA,
they controlled the moral voice of the government. One piece of
unfinished ignorance is redefining homosexuality as integral to pedophilia and the end of family life as we know it. Like
so much else to be proven naught but cowardly conservative cringing,
"the curable disease" of "pedophile induced" homosexuality still
terrified the moral terrorists. This rolled out despite the centuries
of Christian backed homosexuality, pedophilia, sex slavery and outright
debauchery which ironically continued seemingly unabated in modern
times. It too engendered unique and offensive apologetics. And
yes, despite ongoing abuse, the Ted Haggards, scams of magical faith
healing, the hard link between church identities and serial abusers,
protection for same within many church communities, wonderful excuses
such as "a private matter between [insert offender] and God", a backlog
of Roman Catholic legal escapes and exposure of Pentecostal scams
across the globe. Despite theft of welfare and enforced archaic
medieval exorcisms, promotion of lifestyles that nurture HIV
transmission in Africa, blatant theft of money for legal defence and
insultingly tokenistic sentences, it is secular
communities and those who value tolerating human beings who are to
blame for a problem only a small minority can see. Or rather, they know
they see "the devils work" as we hear in the sermon at the beginning
and they must "strip the coat off" just as with Sampson and Delilah in the bible.Essentially,
pedophilia and homosexuality may "coexist" as aspects of sexual
identity. Indeed, one must be a homosexual to be a pedophile, as
evidenced by twin studies. The operative state of potential criminal
predatory behaviour is homosexuality. 1/3 of abuse cases involve an
adult male and a minor male we're reminded as a type of revelation.
Males who abuse female children are "merely" pedophiles. Pedophilia and
heterosexuality may cancel each other out in the mind of the biblical fundamentalist and right wing conservative. Many Christians disagree strongly, but can't match the media attention.2008
saw more juxtaposition in the morality stakes between the USA and
Australia. In mid 2007 legislation was passed in NSW parliament
following the Premiers backflip, permitting somatic cell nuclear transfer despite threats
of eternal torment to compliant Christian MP's from Australia's
Cardinal Pell. In the USA in the same month, Bush vetoed legislation
allowing funding for embryonic stem cell research. In Victoria, Australia, IVF laws were improved in December 2008 to allow same sex couples and single women to conceive, drawing comment from multiple sources. Parenting rights took a democratic leap and the religious right took a deep breath. California passed Proposition 8 which added to Article One of the constitution: Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California. Conservatives took opportunity to misinform and alienate further.Religious conservatives did the thinking for you; "unsure of what to vote on prop' 8? Vote Yes" offers one Catholic "fact" page. It was a highly funded
campaign and with a narrow margin of 52.5% vs 47.5% citizens had cause
to be suspicious, given that California is the state most despised by
conservative USA for it's homosexual decadence. Incredibly, the
"debate" that homosexuality and pedophilia are related psychologically due to handpicked biomechanical similarities is regaining currency.From Homosexuality vs Pedophilia:Mark E. Pietrzyk has a quite fascinating article
on the alleged link between homosexuality and pedophilia. He examines
the question on two axes: The scientific data as to whether homosexuals
are more likely to be pedophiles, and the analytic argument as to
whether liberal views on sexuality are breaking down the "traditional"
norms present in the Judeo-Christian ethos which serve as the primary
barrier to adult-child sexual relations. In both cases, he finds that
the Christian right has completely abused the statistics and the
history to suit its agenda. The scientific data proves the exact
opposite of their point, and the history of both Medieval Judaism and
Medieval Christianity show a shocking acquiesence to pedophilia,
especially regarding the sexual betrothment of pre-pubescent girls. In
fact, he argues, the modern taboo against child sexual relations has
only recently (past two centuries) begun to solidify, and reflects the
enlightenment liberal tradition which places particular emphasis on the
ability of children to consent (as well as more modern liberal norms
about the automatic power imbalance between adults and children in a
relationship, and the physical and psychological harms such
relationships can cause).On November 27th Fairfax media reported on our federal health ministers two homophobic staff who had contributed to the gallingly offensive 21 Reasons Why Gender Matters.
Ironically they were referred to in her department as Health
Ambassadors. A trashy piece of absurd bigotry it was defended proudly
by one member and excused as a type of administrative mistake by the
other who, to his credit, did insist he rejected discrimination and that
people, "should be accepted the way they are born". John Howard supported the 'strategic summit' that attempted to legitimize such appalling rubbish. Health minister Nicola Roxon summed it up
herself. The Health Minister, who is under pressure to dump them, said last night she
found the document "unacceptable and repugnant".
"My office is currently in discussions with both men to determine what role
they played, and whether the views expressed are their own," Ms Roxon said. "I
regard this as a serious matter and will consider closely the responses I
receive."
The
intuitive thrust that masks the resurrecting pathological homophobic pseudoscience is aimed at "the family". Suddenly or intentionally being bereft of a father figure
or a male role model, regardless of how one gets there, spells certain supernatural danger. Think of it as a snippet of the larger creationist rejection of "scientific materialism" and anything remotely related to Charles Darwin. The fallacious thesis
is as much a call for quaint traditional - and problematic - values to
be elevated to the status of essential, as much as pure bigotry. A raft of dysfunctional issues is to strike all who stray from the model of a nuclear family: referenced once by John Howard to applause at the Fatherhood Foundation's National Strategic Conference on Marriage, Family and Fatherhood in September 2007 - see video below. He managed with a straight face [bold mine];
"A properly functioning family is the best social welfare system mankind has ever devised".
So, it's for your own good when we get down to it. Forget what he did to indigenous families, immigrants, refugees, psychologically ill Australian citizens, innocent Iraqis, his own working public and indeed, poor Peter Costello. Forget the alienation and offence imposed on millions of citizens in Australia as gender bias is made up on the spot. Moral egos that justify the type of hypocrisy and suffering forced upon others are like a swipe card to areas of our nature some of us never earn the humility to fully understand.
Despite both APA's definition of homosexuality being readily available, and facts so well known they are almost gathering dust, the type of rubbish pushed earlier this decade by Trayce Hansen, NARTH, Dougherty, the much criticised and antagonist of mainstream Christianity, Focus on the Family - who have a disturbing presence here in Australia - Christians for Truth, Catholic Education Resource Center, etc is increasing, making links to climate change seem almost wonderfully just plain old weird. The Mark Foley issue
involving hand picked Christian Congressional pages apparently
solicited for private rendevous helped create the media energy to
re-float these intellectually repugnant themes.
In the Humble Firesnake Holeplex it is certainly hoped that
evidence, tolerance and secular values of acceptance and compassion
come to the fore and we gradually see the end of this 'science of
homophobia'.
From The Fatherhood Foundation:The first purpose of the National Strategic Summit on Marriage, Family and Fatherhood
is to strengthen and support marriages and set a vision for the renewal
of marriage in Australia that can be supported by all. The National
Strategic Summit on Marriage, Family and Fatherhood is the official
launching pad for the release of the 'Marriage Manifesto', a
call to the nation to value and treasure the relationships that we all
hold so dear. Marriage is the foundation for our families and families
are the foundation for our nation.
Secondly the National Strategic Summit on Marriage, Family and Fatherhood
affirms fatherhood and motherhood and the importance of male and
female. To this end a groundbreaking research document called ' 21 Reasons Why Gender Matters' was released.

Golf Better #32: Ask Kenny:
One of my favorite things about podcasting is that you're engaged in the conversation, and on this episode of Golf Better @ Edwin Watts Golf, Kenny Nicholson, Technical Specialist at Edwin Watts Golf answers your questions.
Kenny starts by answering David Largent of Maryland, who asks: "On wedges, what is the main factor that hosel length has in performance?"
Brendan Toohey from Singapore writes in to ask: "I was listening to the podcast with the guy from Adams, and you were talking about the effect of having the wrong lie angle: i.e., if the club's too flat for the golfer, then the toe will hit the ground, open the blade and the ball will slice?"
Tyrone from Detroit asks: "I was practicing my swing, in slow motion while looking into a mirror. And dropping my hands feels manipulated. Is that what I am supposed to do and is that what it supposed to feel like?"
Alan from West Sussex, England writes "Why can't you purchase clubs (irons) as singles?"
Chris from Manahawkin, NJ asks: "Typically, what type of ball is a 'range ball'? What are the big differences between them and a ball we would use for play. I've always believed that the flight of the ball is exaggerated on a range ball. Am I right?"

The Racton Folly:
This is a short trailer of my recent visit to a very spooky folly. Thought to be a summer house or observation platform, the Racton Folly stands alone, deserted on the top of a hill over looking Chichester in West Sussex. People say that it is haunted, and you do get an eerie feeling as you stand inside. The builder died before his work was complete and now it stands in rack and ruin, but do you think it should be turned into a private dwelling?

The Racton Folly:
This is a short trailer of my recent visit to a very spooky folly. Thought to be a summer house or observation platform, the Racton Folly stands alone, deserted on the top of a hill over looking Chichester in West Sussex. People say that it is haunted, and you do get an eerie feeling as you stand inside. The builder died before his work was complete and now it stands in rack and ruin, but do you think it should be turned into a private dwelling?

Is Eddie Cross?:
Show 13
I interviewed Eddie Cross, spokesperson for the MDC, in Harare. The interview was in early July. This podcast was edited and put together on the fly, whilst we are in England looking for a house to rent. We relocate from Johannesburg in a couple of months, to Worthing in West Sussex. I will be keen to get some new and different interviews once we are settled and have some decent broadband, so give me a buzz if interested. And no, I dont think Eddie is cross! At least not with me.

Max Egremont - Siegfried Sassoon: A Life:
Max Egremont, author, historian
Siegfried Sassoon was born in 1886 in Kent, and began writing verses as a boy. As a brave young officer, he confronted the terrible realities of the First World War on the battlefield, in verse, and, finally, by announcing his opposition to the war in 1917, showing that physical courage could exist alongside humanity and sensibility. By 1918 Sassoon had become one of the most famous young writers of the time, a mentor to Wilfred Owen, and an inspiration to Winston Churchill and T.E. Lawrence. He joined the Labour Party, became literary editor of the socialist Daily Herald, and began close friendships with Thomas Hardy and E.M. Forster while trying to grow as a poet in peacetime. Then Sassoon fell in love with the aristocratic aesthete Stephen Tennant, who led him into the group of 'bright young things' who inspired the early novels of Evelyn Waugh. At the demise of his passionate but fraught relationship with Tennant, Sassoon suddenly married the beautiful Hester Gatty in 1933 and retreated to a quiet country life until their eventual estrangement and Sassoon's subsequent conversion to Catholicism. From his famous war poems to the gentler vision of his prose, Sassoon wrote masterfully of war and lost idylls, and this work and its complex author are brilliantly illuminated in Max Egremont's definitive biography, which draws from unprecedented access to Sassoon's complete papers.
Max Egremont studied modern history at the University of Oxford and is the author of four novels and three biographies, most recently Under Two Flags: The Life of Major General Sir Edward Spears. Egremont is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature. He lives at Petworth House in West Sussex, England.
