When returns from the trenches of World War I, his mental trauma and amnesia testify to the horrors of war while simultaneously shedding light on the constraints in class-conscious England on the quest for happiness. A study of the human heart, The Return of the Soldier explores eternal themes with profound perception and insight. This Warbler Classics edition includes a detailed biographical timeline.
