Description
Anxious Corporals is a poignant exploration of the lives of those who sought self-improvement through education and correspondence courses in post-war Britain.
The book recalls the men and women who pursued 'self-improvement' through various means, from adult education to political parties, and reflects on the values that shaped their experiences. Through verse, Alan Morrison examines the tensions between deference and independence, Reason and Reaction, and the impact of these forces on individuals and society.
This thought-provoking essay is a celebration of the often-overlooked world of self-education and its significance in shaping British culture.
