* 1896 – Edmund Blunden, English poet, author and critic ( d. 1974 )

Edmund Blunden had been briefly at the University of Tokyo and put the Press in touch with the University booksellers, Fukumoto Stroin.

Edmund Charles Blunden, MC ( 1 November 1896 – 20 January 1974 ) was an English poet, author and critic.

Born in London, Blunden was the eldest of the nine children of Charles Edmund Blunden ( 1871 – 1951 ) and his wife, Georgina Margaret née Tyler, who were joint-headteachers of a London school.

Blunden was educated at Christ's Hospital and The Queen's College, Oxford.

In August 1915 Blunden was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Royal Sussex Regiment and served with them right up to the end of World War I, taking part in the actions at Ypres and the Somme, and receiving the Military Cross in the process.

Unusual for a junior infantry officer, Blunden survived nearly two years in the front line without physical injury, but for the rest of his life bore mental scars from his experiences.

Blunden left the army in 1919 and took up the scholarship at Oxford that he had won while still at school.

Blunden retired in 1964 and settled in Suffolk.

Blunden was married three times.

They divorced in 1931, and in 1933 Blunden married Sylva Norman, a young novelist and critic.

When Blunden returned to England in 1927, Aki accompanied him and would become his secretary.

As Blunden says, " The game which made me write at all, is not terminated at the boundary, but is reflected beyond, is echoed and varied out there among the gardens and the barns, the dells and the thickets, and belongs to some wider field.

Blunden had a robust sense of humour.
