Max Plowman and the Literature of the First World War

Malcolm Pittock

David Storey, Orwell, Scott, Dickens, Marvell, and Wilfred Owen, and on the function of rhyme in poetry

This article argues that Max Plowman, the only member of the armed forces to be court-martialled for refusing to return to the Front in the 1914–19 War, has been oddly neglected. Consideration both of his case and of his Memoir, A Subaltern on the Somme, however, can illuminate the partly parallel case of Siegfried Sassoon, and lead to a reappraisal of the orthodox account of the literature of the First World War.
