Carter, Esdaile

Esdaile Carter grew up in Oxford, England and lived in Central America, Panama, the USA and Mexico for a number of years before returning to Oxfordshire. Having studied English Literature with the university of London, the resulting thesis was about poetry of war in the Renaissance. A study of public and private memorials of war for the thesis is of abiding interest. The relatively new emphasis on detailed personal experience to explain very public events is inspiring for writers like Esdaile Carter.
