Herbert Read is commemorated in Poet’s Corner in Westminster Abbey.
So why is this literary talent, knight of the realm, artist, critic and writer so often overlooked, in favour of the likes of Owen, Sassoon and Brooke?
Was it perhaps because this intriguing Yorkshireman; an officer in the Green Howards, was also an anarchist?
A dedicated soldier, whose affection and admiration for his men shines through in his prose and poetry, who captured moments of warfare in brutally modern sketches, but one who later questioned everything, and challenged the establishment.
Carl Watts explores the military and cultural life and work of an extraordinary man. The Green Howards Museum has in its collection a substantial Herbert Read archive, some of which will be included in this Museum Talk.
