‘Ivor Gurney: First War Poet’ – A podcast

Professor Tim Kendall examines the ways in which Gurney represents poetry, and the figure of the poet, in his own work; and assesses Gurney’s hopes for the efficacy of such poetry – whether as acts of witness, of escapism, or of political intervention.

The paper was presented at the First World War Literature, Music and Memory Conference held at King’s College, Cambridge on the 11th and 12th July, 2009. Recording courtesy of Silvia Perucchetti.
