First published in 1925, and frequently compared to T.S.

Enriched with a fascinating introduction and explanatory notes by leading Aldington scholars...
First published in 1925, and frequently compared to T.S.

Taking its title from Shakespeare's phantasmagoric Midsummer Night's Dream , A Fool surveys three aspects of one character - 'I', Mezzetin and the Conjuror - as they struggle, and ultimately fail, to find a way to reconcile their differences and live with one another. Enriched with a fascinating introduction and explanatory notes by leading Aldington scholars Michael Copp and Elizabeth Vandiver, this centenary edition seeks to place A Fool firmly back into the canon of postwar poetry, from which it has been missing for too long.
