Come and hear Dr Paul Quinn of the University of Chichester talk on poets, poetry and the "torn fields of France". FREE event.
About this Event

Felpham Public Lectures are hosted by St Mary's Church and FREE to ALL. On 12th November, Paul Quinn will discuss how the devastation of the natural world during the First World War impacts on the writing of a range of poets including Siegfried Sassoon, Edmund Blunden and Isaac Rosenberg. Lurking behind the poetic accounts of the "torn fields of France" is the fear, for Sassoon and Blunden at least, that the same destruction would be wrought on their beloved Wealden landscape.

As a venue, St Mary's Church provides a beautiful setting which also has good acoustics and comfortable seating. There is free parking in the Grassmere car park at PO22 7NU from where you can take an accessible path through the Churchyard to the Church.

Please book your FREE ticket to this event.
