	Edmund Blunden - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Edmund Charles Blunden (November 1, 1896 - January 20, 1974), although not one of the top trio of English World War I writers, was an important and influential poet, author and critic.
		Born in London, Blunden was educated at Christ's Hospital, a famous public school in Sussex, and later at Queen's College, Oxford.
		In 1924 Blunden was invited to teach in Tokyo, and the years 1924-27 were one of two periods he spent working in Japan and the Far East.

	Edmund Blunden at War
		Edmund Blunden lived for more than half a century after the end of the Great War, for he was a schoolboy in 1914 attending a public school-Christ’s Hospital.
		Blunden wrote that the undertaking was "without the least success" and a cause for "some bitter jesting".
		Blunden joined them from leave in England travelling through Mont St.Quentin (the location of a brilliant victory by the Australians in September 1918) eventually arriving in the line in Gauche Wood opposite the Germans holding their front line in Villers-Ghislain.

	Counter-Attack: Biography of Edmund Blunden by Michele Fry
		Blunden was commissioned into the Royal Sussex Regiment in 1915 and served in France and Belgium from 1916 to 1919, fighting on the Somme and at Ypres.
		Edmund Blunden is largely underestimated today as a war poet, mainly because the work of other poets such as Wilfred Owen, Isaac Rosenberg and Siegfried Sassoon has eclipsed that of Blunden.
		Blunden's own war poems are far more restrained than those of either Owen or Sassoon, but Blunden's hatred of the war and his grief for the war's dead, were just as intense as that of Owen or Sassoon.

	BD179 Homage to Edmund Blunden
		Notes that Blunden’s hundreds of lectures during his stay as cultural attachè were written separately for each occasion, and that he has left behind in Japan the manuscripts of more than five hundred.
		Like Sone, Sakai was a student at Blunden’s lectures at Tokyo Imperial University in his first weeks in the city, would go on to become a major figure in English literary studies in Japan, and remembers with warm affection Blunden’s kindness and contributions to the country.
		Sakai notes rightly that perhaps the greatest indication of Blunden’s influence in Japan is that more than half of his students went on to become university professors, others ‘prominent writers’, and ‘almost all’ played prominent roles in Japan’s ‘various cultural fields’.

		Blunden reported his tendence to "bow and scrape after the manner of the country" and an ability to wield chopsticks "well enough to face the future." In any case the food was acceptable.
		Blunden might complain that Tokyo did not move him to poetry, but obviously those "sudden and subtle incitements'' of which he spoke were not lacking.

	First World War.com - Prose & Poetry - Edmund Blunden
		Edmund Blunden (1896-1974) was born on 1 November 1896 in London, raised in Kent and educated first at Christ's Hospital, where he discovered a talent for calligraphy, and then at The Queen's College.
		He served with the Royal Sussex Regiment from 1915-19, fought at both the Somme and at Ypres, and was awarded the Military Cross during the Somme battle.
		Blunden's war memoir, Undertones of War (1928), is one of the great accounts of the war, and yet at the same time manages to be highly evocative of the home life of the English countryside.

	BD Edmund Blunden and Japan
		Blunden’s treatment of Japan both in verse and in prose brought to English writing a receptiveness to the country and a refusal to exoticise that sets the work apart not only from that of Blunden’s contemporaries but also from the mainstream of English writing of Japan that has followed.
		Edmund Blunden wrote more of Japan than any earlier English poet, but it is not his writing of Japan but rather his reception there that has most attracted attention.
		The poems in the occasional collections are slight, as Blunden himself recognised (see 70), and the reverence with which the Japanese establishment spoke of him for decades often has led to bemusement in England.

		Yet, any reader with more than a basic notion of Blunden as a prose writer and poet, risks staying on the breadline as he thumbs through the pages of this volume in the Battleground Series.
		Living in the region where (the second) half of Blunden's experiences took place, one's factual expectations are equally met, especially when it comes to specifications about the sites to be visited themselves.
		Where Blunden's talent springs to mind, he is unequalled either way, both in subtlety and in accuracy.

		Tidigt 1915 kom nittonårige Edmund Charles Blunden (1896-1974), "a schoolboy officer" som han skriver, till armén, som en av de yngsta löjtnanterna, därav öknamnen "rabbit" och "bunny".
		Om sina krigsupplevelser och framför allt sitt regementes strapatser skrev Blunden i Tokyo åren 1924-27, där han arbetade som engelskaprofessor vid universitetet.

		Blunden survived the war to live well into our own time, and he spent the greater part of his life after the war at Oxford, as a fellow of Merton College.
		He was truly, as Paul Fussell describes him, a "poet, scholar, editor, and man of letters." "Blunden was one [Fussell continues] whose whole life was powerfully dominated by his wartime experience as a shy company officer in some of the worst of the fighting, including the battle of Passchendaele" (Third Ypres).

	Edmund Blunden: the forgotten war poet? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		I decided to do my dissertation on the poetry of Edmund Blunden partly because he was my grandfather and I wanted the opportunity to discover more about him and his poetry and partly because I wanted to do a poetry based dissertation.
		During my research for my dissertation it came clear that very lttle has actually been written on Blunden in comparison to the other first world war poets.
		What was written tended to concentrate on his love for the countryside and his fellow man, however through my own reading of his poetry I feel he has as much to say about the horrors of warfare as any other poet, and strongly believe people should be exposed to his works a lot more.

		EDMUND BLUNDEN was born in 1896 and educated at Christ’s Hospital and Queen’s College, Oxford.

		In Response To: Edmund Blunden: the forgotten war poet?
		Having just recently finished reading "Undertones of War", I have to agree with you that there was more to Blunden's work than the pastoral image that most people seem to have after reading his book.
		He seemed to see only the pastoral side of Blunden and I argued for the horrors - I felt that Blunden had been just as badly affected as Sassoon or Graves by the War but that he didn't make it so very obvious as either of them.
