This autobiographical novel of the eminent English poet, Siegfried Sassoon was first published in 1936. Following on from Memoirs of a Fox-Hunting Man (1928) and Memoirs of an Infantry Officer (1930), Sassoon's third and final instalment, Sherston's Progress, is set in an asylum for shell-shocked officers, and deals with the author's final acceptance of these realities, and ultimately to resolve his emotional turmoil.Sassoon's fluid, sensitive prose, the fine perceptions of the poet, is spoken here in the voice of the average man.
With charm and humor and quiet understatement, he has managed to articulate the hidden feelings of any sensitive man who in the normal course of his life is suddenly exposed to the nightmare of war.A gripping finale to the trilogy.
