The Pastoral is the semi-fictional account of British composers
Ralph Vaughan Williams and George Butterworth during the First
World War. Both saw active service and witnessed the horrors of
trench warfare; Vaughan Williams as a member of the medical corp,
while Butterworth fought at the Battle of The Somme. Following the
events and timeline that we know to be true, Jon Lawrence offers a
hypothesis of what might have happened and considers how the
unimaginable terrors of war in France might affect the creative
mind. Although the book addresses the violent truth of conflict The
Pastoral is also a powerful story of friendship, courage and the
power of hope. Jon Lawrence lectures in music at City College
Norwich in the UK.
