Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. First impression of the true first edition. ***Fine in red cloth-covered boards with gilt titles to spine. No inscriptions. No foxing. Paper bright and clean. Spine tight. In a near fine colour illustrated dustwrapper that has not been price-clipped, showing original publisher's price of £6.95 net. No tears. No fading. Titles on spine slightly faded. Front and rear panels of dustwrapper bright. ***72 pages. 224mm x 142mm. *** 'Just as Kipling's Barrack Room Ballads spoke for the Tommy Atkins of Queen Victoria's reign, so Vernon Scannell's remarkable new book-length sequence of poems - Soldiering On voices the often shocking, sometimes absurd and, on occasion even comic, aspects of military life in the ranks this century. ***Scannell has chosen forms and language that should effectively communicate with the least sophisticated of poetry-readers without sacrificing anything of the craftsmanship imaginative power and verbal energy for which he has long been admired. ***Whereas Kipling naturally could not use the actual language of the barrack room because of the linguistic taboos of the day, Scannell, in post-Chatterley climate, is free to do just that and he does so brilliantly, exploring the primitive myths, prejudices, sexual and ethical mores of the common British soldier in poems that are always entertaining, whether they are stirring funny, or, as so often, profoundly moving.' (Quote from inside front of dustwrapper blurb). ***'Vernon Scannell is one of the most accomplished, entertaining and widely-read poets writing in Britain today. At the age of sixty-six, as a former war-time soldier, professional boxer and regular broadcaster on radio and T.V., he calls upon an unusually wide range of experience for the subject matter of his poetry.' (Quote from inside of rear of dustwrapper blurb). ***'During the last three decades he has certainly written some of the most moving and brilliantly accurate poems.' Guardian (Quote from rear of dustwrapper blurb). ***First impression of the true first edition in its original dustwrapper in very nice condition. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. Seller Inventory # 3500
