Siegfried Sassoon: Scorched Glory is the first survey of the poet's
published work since his death and the first to draw on the edited
diaries and letters. We learn how Sassoon's family background and
Jewish inheritance, his troubled sexuality, his experience of war -
in particular his public opposition to it - his relationship to the
Georgian poets and other writers, and his eventual withdrawal to
country life shaped his creativity. Sassoon's status as a war poet
has overshadowed his wider achievements and the complex personality
behind them. This critical evaluation of Sassoon's work is long
overdue and will provide a valuable starting-point for future
reappraisals of a writer for whom life and art were fused.
