Description

Discover the unpublished literary legacy of Lieutenant Nowell Oxland, a talented poet killed at Gallipoli in 1915 at just 24 years old. Though largely forgotten except for his anonymous poem Farewell published in The Times, Oxland's body of work reveals a writer deeply connected to place and homeland. Chasing the Phantom brings together his previously unseen poems and stories, spanning darkly gothic and supernatural narratives alongside comic pieces that showcase the breadth of his imagination. A native of Cumberland, Oxland's writing captures the ache of longing for home as he departed for war, with vivid imagery of pools, water-ouzel nests, and the crying curlews of the Cumbrian wastes. This collection, published by Thorn and Haw Publications, offers readers a rare glimpse into the creative mind of a lost voice from World War I, combining literary merit with historical significance for anyone interested in war poetry and early twentieth-century British literature.

Key Features

Nowell Oxland's complete collection of unpublished poems and stories offers a rare literary discovery from a World War I poet who died at Gallipoli in 1915.

The work ranges from darkly gothic and supernatural tales to comic pieces, demonstrating Oxland's versatile writing style and imaginative range.

Nature-inspired verses deeply rooted in Oxland's native Cumberland provide intimate portraits of English landscapes and personal longing for home.

Published by Thorn and Haw Publications, this edition preserves the literary legacy of a soldier-poet whose only previously published work appeared anonymously in The Times.

An essential resource for military history enthusiasts, World War I scholars, and readers of early twentieth-century British poetry and prose.
