BD. Edmund Blunden

123. ‘Teaching English in Japan: Students’ Penchant for Poetry’. Times Educational Supplement, 10 August 1956, p. 1021.

Reveals again the depth of Blunden’s respect for the seriousness and courtesy of Japanese students (see especially 18d). Here he notes in particular his perception of their love of English literature and enthusiasm for writing English poetry. Includes reference to Hearn (see D9) and to Enright (see CA14b).
