{"title":"Sean Street","description":null,"products":[{"product_id":"dymock-poets-book-sean-street-9781854111210","title":"The Dymock Poets","description":"Shortly before the First World War a group of poets gathered in the small village of Dymock, in rural Gloucestershire, forming an interacting colony of talent. Their number included Lascelles Abercrombie, Wilfrid Gibson, Robert Frost, Rupert Brooke, John Drinkwater, Edward Thomas and Eleanor Farjeon.   Among their visitors were W.H. Davies, Ivor Gurney and Edward Marsh, the influential literary person. Their move to Dymock was a conscious decision to work in and respond to the English countryside, to seek a literary idyll. They produced their own journal, New Numbers, to promote their writing, read to each other and discussed literature and its practice in each other's houses.   The results were far reaching. At the encouragement of Frost, in particular, Edward Thomas turned from literary journalism, to become one of the great English poets of the century. Frost himself gained a new impetus, while Rupert Brooke found Dymock and its occupants a fixed artistic centre during his world-wide travelling.   Sean Street has written a narrative of this brief gathering which is a persuasive and, at times, moving story. His thorough understanding of the poetry, period and area make a valuable and informative contribution to our understanding of a key period into British and American poetry. This new study of the Georgian poets will provoke further and long-overdue reassessment of their writing.  Sean Street is a writer and broadcaster. He is the author of six collections of poetry and has had four plays performed in the last decade, including Honest John (1993) which celebrates the life of the poet John Clare. He has written books on Hampshire, Dorset, the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra and rural writing. He has produced radio programmes on W.H. Hudson, A.G. Street, Hopkins' 'The Wreck of the Deutschland' (also the subject of a book), historic farms and Lost Villages. He is a regular contributor to arts and history programmes on BBC Radio 2 and 4, where his feature on Keith Douglas marked the 50th anniversary of the death of the poet in 1944.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49513455780113,"sku":"GOR002376563","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49677783630097,"sku":"CIN1854111213G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52114166317329,"sku":"GOR010089241","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1854111213.jpg?v=1750768349"},{"product_id":"wreck-of-the-deutschland-book-sean-street-9780285630512","title":"The Wreck of the \"Deutschland\"","description":"A study of the wreck, and of the controversy which surrounded it, of a German emigrant ship which sank in the Thames estuary in 1875, claiming 42 lives including those of five nuns.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49528945901841,"sku":"GOR001859161","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49610193043729,"sku":"GOR005307640","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53333402747153,"sku":"GOR006370858","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0285630512.jpg?v=1750695721"},{"product_id":"remembered-land-book-sean-street-9780718138295","title":"A Remembered Land","description":"This is an anthology of first-person accounts of rural life in Edwardian Britain.

This led to a collection based on the sequence, and ultimately to this book, beginning and ending in silence, and containing in between, the words and music, the images and ideas of a medium which - like poetry - is capable of a potent partnership between maker and 'tuner-in'. Here are poems which speak of the power of radio to pour hatred and dogma into the head and the heart, beside others which celebrate Test Match Special and The Archers. The favourite aphorism about radio is that 'the pictures are better because we collaborate in their making' remains true. After all, we may hear with our ears, but we listen with our mind.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49647302607121,"sku":"GOR012467886","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51433288990993,"sku":"GOR004031865","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1900564394.jpg?v=1751347195"},{"product_id":"talk-radio-book-sen-street-9781910855492","title":"Talk,Radio","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49735869366545,"sku":"NGR9781910855492","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1910855499.jpg?v=1751281974"},{"product_id":"dymock-poets-book-sean-street-9781854111227","title":"The Dymock Poets","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50052149281041,"sku":"GOR013846985","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53549530415377,"sku":"GOR014958062","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1854111221.jpg?v=1750802937"},{"product_id":"the-bournemouth-symphony-orchestra-a-centenary-celebration-rare-book-sean-street-1715785235mha","title":"The Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra: A Centenary Celebration","description":"1993.
