Coward's entire collected verse compiled from published volumes, private letters and diaries and edited with a contextualising narrative by Coward expert Barry Day.
Noël Coward (1899-1973) was a consummate and prolific playwright, writer, actor and performer who was knighted in 1970. Among his best known and most revived works are the plays The Vortex, Hayfever, Private Lives and Blithe Spirit. Barry Day has written extensively on Noël Coward. His most recent works are the acclaimed, The Letters of Noël Coward and In His Own Words. He was awarded an OBE for services to British Culture in the US.
'All these qualities, from playfulness to patriotism, are on display in The Complete Verse Of Noel Coward, admirably edited by Barry Day, who has tracked down unpublished fragments of His Master's Voice from postcards, telegrams and correspondence...I recommend this delightful and civilised book highly' Daily Mail, 30/09/11
