In hindsight, it would have been better to dip in and out of it rather than to read it all in one go, as the poems did start to feel a bit similar after a while. Such beautiful writing but I found it felt very similar after a bit. I wouldn't call E. Nesbit a Great Poet I guess I would call her an uneven poet.

  • Engineer, Aviator, Author & Model Engineer
    Nevil Shute: Engineer, Aviator, Author & Model Engineer NEVIL SHUTE: ENGINEER, AVIATOR, AUTHOR AND MODEL ENGINEER by Allan J Bester Few people may be aware of the multifaceted life of Nevil S Norway, better known as Nevil Shute, a popular novelist of the latter half of the last century. Nevil Shute Norway Born on 17 January 1899 in Ealing, a suburb to the west of London, Nevil Shute Norway was the younger son of Arthur Norway and his wife Mary (nee Gadsden). Arthur Norway was a senior civil servant in the General Post Office in London. At the age of 11, Nevil, tormented by the unsympathetic responses of both pupils and teachers to his unfortunate bad stammer, played truant from his first preparatory school in Hammersmith, preferring the mechanical challenges posed by the steam engine and model aircraft displays at the Science Museum in South Kensington. He was especially captivated by the engineering and mechanics evident in the Blériot and Antoinette aircraft of the period. As a result of his truancy, he was moved to the Dragon School in Oxford, where he developed extramural interests in sailing, motorcycle engines and aeroplanes, and thence to Shrewsbury School in 1913. In 1912, his father was transferred to Dublin, Ireland as Secretary to the Post Office (the highest position in the Post Office), and Nevil remained with friends in Oxford to finish his schooling. Nevil and his older brother Fred shared a Rudge Multi motorcycle bought new in 1914, a month after the Great War commenced. Less than a year later, 19-year old Fred was seriously wounded in action in Flanders, dying of his wounds three weeks later.

  • Novelist of Achievement by Phillip Salin
    Liberty, Art, & Culture Vol. 28, No. 4 Summer 2010 Novelist of achievement By Phillip Salin I’ve often been surprised at how easy it is for admirable absence of villains in most of his stories. The tension generally artists and works of art to go unnoticed by most of the people comes from attempting to accomplish a difficult task, rather who would really enjoy them. What a waste on both sides: than from any artificial need to overcome malevolent human authors, directors, composers are deprived of their proper adversaries. Shute’s plots emerge naturally from the attempts audience and appropriate recognition; the audience is deprived of his main characters to try to get a job done right. of potential enlightenment and enjoyment. On the Beach (1957) is Shute’s most readily available book, This problem is particularly acute for worthy “old” works but is quite atypical of him. If this is the only Shute story of art. One might expect critics to help maintain awareness of with which you are familiar, you cannot avoid getting a very admirable works and artists, but the majority of critical analysis mistaken impression of his work, and possibly of his purposes is only Monday morning quarterbacking, scoring points on in writing the story itself. Shute was not a passive man, but On an artist for what he didn’t but might have done in his most the Beach portrays a world that has allowed itself to fall into a recent performance. Such criticism overlooks the simpler, more fatal situation from which there is no escape; life on Earth is basic functions of publicizing and market-making, of helping doomed by the unintended consequences of a nuclear war.
