DESCRIPTION
A very scarce poem on Britain and the First World War, written by the mysterious Junius Redivivus. Published by the Cornish Brothers, the publishers for Birmingham University, in 1915.
In the publisher's original paper wraps.
The exact nature of who wrote the poem is largely unknown, yet they did write a satire on the First World War, The Holy War, the same year. Junius Redivivus (Junius reborn) was previously used by William Bridges Adams when advocating for political reform, who was inspired by the anonymous Junius who wrote letters for political reform centuries earlier.
This particular work, written in microform, is a rousing poem aimed to rally the British to defeat the Kaiser and his forces.
