Synopsis
This, the first selection of Warner's prose, gives readers of his work some indication of the historical and intellectual background from which his poetry has sprung: of 'the giant race before the flood' who lived on to help shape Britain's post-war imagination. Starting with memories of the London Blitz and his poem 'Blitz Requiem', Warner recalls his schooldays at Christ's Hospital, Horsham, recovering from six years of war, and the role played by music. He writes of his friends: 'Henry Chadwick as Musician', Kathleen Raine as fellow poet, C.S. Lewis and the Psalms, Henry Moore, Francis Bacon, Edmund Blunden, and Samuel Beckett, reproducing the manuscripts of two short plays Beckett discussed with and gave to him. Other subjects include W.B.Years, Benjamin Britten and the Japanese Noh plays, Samuel Palmer as poet, and Hugh Wybrew's Liturgical Texts of the Orthodox Church. The book concludes with 'Francis Warner as Musician in Performance' an illustrative CD with music by Honegger, Vaughan Williams, and Warners collaborator the composer and organist David Goode, and Stephen Cleobury conducting the Choir of King's College Cambridge singing one of their anthems.
