The life of Bruce Frederick Cummings, who wrote under the name of
W. N. P. Barbellion, was short, tragically curtailed by multiple
sclerosis. He was born in 1889 and died in 1919. Started when he
was thirteen, this remarkable journal, described by Ronald Blythe
as 'among the most moving diaries ever created', documents the rest
of his life. Filled with devastating frankness, keen observation
and a sort of stoicism, it is, in the words of the author 'a study
in the nude'. One of the last entries can act as his epitaph: 'I am
only twenty-eight, but I have telescoped into those few years a
tolerably long life: I have loved and married, and have a family; I
have wept and enjoyed, struggled and overcome, and when the hour
comes I shall be content to die'.
