Coward the Dramatist: Morals and Manners, 2024
Noël Coward’s successes in the 1920s gave him the leisure to tour the world and to think. He was critical  of the First World War and wrote a play to give voice to this, but he also had time to write the patriotic Cavalcade. On his return to England he had a difficult choice to make.

Noël Coward’s Theatre of War looks more closely at the choices facing the playwright in 1930.

This is not a publication of the Christian Literary Studies Group but I wrote much of the monograph when lecturing on drama for London University, and the book was published in 2024 by Palgrave Macmillan.
