John Betjeman
Eccentric, sentimental & homespun, John Betjeman's passions were mostly self-taught. He saw his country being devastated by war & progress & he waged a private war to save it. His only weapons were words - the poetry for which he is best known &, even more influential, the radio talks that first made him a phenomenon.
