DAVIDSON, John.
St. George's Day. A Fleet Street Eclogue.
Very minor chips to spine, and joint partly split.
Davidson, an unapologetic North Briton, celebrated England as the Mother of Nations as he “bridged the camps of the so-called Decadents and Counter-decadents. ‘St. George’s Day’, his final contribution to The Yellow Book, indicates that his own thoughts were moving towards Empire and the cult of manly strength. ‘St. George’s Day’ was widely admired. The reviewer in Black and White saw in it the quality of a national anthem and suggested that “to know it should henceforth be part of the education of every child.”
