The Tears of War
May, the daughter of Charles Cannan, Dean of Trinity College, Oxford, met Bevil, the son of Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch, when he came up to Trinity in 1910. When war broke out in 1914, Bevil was sent to France to serve as an Officer in the Royal Artillery. Within days of the Armistice, Bevil asked May to marry him - but tragedy struck. Here is the couple's story told through May's published poetry, with passages from her autobiography and letters from Bevil and his father, interspersed with official war diary extracts. It is a moving account of the melancholy of a war which stole the lives and loves of a generation.

Poetry of the First World War
The First World War produced an extraordinary flowering of poetic talent, poets whose words commemorate the conflict more personally and as enduringly as monuments in stone. Lines such as 'What passing-bells for these who die as cattle?' and 'They shall not grow old, as they that are left grow old' have come to express the feelings of a nation about the horrors and aftermath of war.
