Description
This biography takes the reader on a journey through the life of John Betjeman, from his troubled childhood to his later years of literary success. Spanning over six decades, the book covers Betjeman's time at Oxford, his relationships, and his experiences during wartime, including his possible involvement in espionage.
Written by Bevis Hillier, this biography is a distillation of his three-volume work, authorized by Betjeman himself. It provides a comprehensive and detailed account of Betjeman's life, from his early days to the publication of his Collected Poems, which became a runaway success.
With a focus on Betjeman's personal life and experiences, this biography offers a unique insight into the life of one of the UK's most celebrated poets.
