At War: Sylvia Townsend Warner and Maiden Newton

Sylvia Townsend Warner’s 1958 poetry collection Boxwood is an unusual book with an unusual genesis. This article examines how Warner and her neighbour, the wood engraver Reynolds Stone, collaborated on the project. It explores Warner’s meditations on rural life, storytelling and human mortality in the wider contexts of her own poetry and the history of British wood engraving.
