Besides being written about by a very few people, his work has not been
the subject of much inquiry due more than likely to his medium--the radio.
He is best known as a writer of plays and dramas for the BBC Feature
section that he was involved with after World War II until his death.  His
main interest was classics and 19th century Italian poet Count Giacomo
Leopardi.  He went to the University of Birmingham where he received a
honors degree in classics and literature...his main interest during his
schooling years was the work of Thomas Hardy and all through out his life
he was working on a mammoth biograpgy, which was never completed and never
published.  He only published on slim offering of poetry called A Map of
Verona.  In it was the three part poem called "Lessons Of War."  We were
given the second installment ("Judging Distances") and the first part was
called "Naming of Parts" and the third was "Unarmed Combat."  The first
part, "Naming of Parts" is considered to be the most important piece of
poetry about the war and it is much anthologized.  The three work together
to show the development of a civlian thrust into the war and his
development throught he phases of indoctrination into the military.  He
was in the Army for only three months and never saw combat, but he did do
importnat intelligence work in the Foreign Office.
