Grapes of Wrath (Annotated)
Enriched Edition. World War I NovelBy Boyd Cable
Length6h 17m
About this audiobook
Boyd Cable's Grapes of Wrath is a wartime collection shaped by the pressures, ironies, and moral intensities of the First World War. Drawing its title from the biblical image later popularized in "The Battle Hymn of the Republic," the book turns wrath into a historical and ethical force: anger at invasion, endurance under bombardment, and the grim necessity of resistance. Cable's prose is direct, episodic, and observant, combining journalistic clarity with the heightened rhetoric of patriotic war writing. Situated among British home-front and front-line narratives of 1914–18, it records not only action but the emotional discipline demanded by modern mechanized conflict. Boyd Cable was the pen name of Ernest Andrew Ewart, a British writer whose career was closely bound to popular journalism and war literature. His familiarity with military life, censorship, propaganda, and the expectations of wartime readers helps explain the book's blend of immediacy, anecdote, and moral argument. Cable wrote for an audience seeking both information and reassurance, yet his best passages retain a sharp sense of human cost. This book is recommended for readers interested in First World War literature, patriotic rhetoric, and the formation of public memory. It rewards attention as a document of its moment: vivid, purposeful, and revealing.
