Isaac Rosenberg, author of some of the most poignant war poems ever written, died in the French trenches of The Western Front on the first of April 1918, just a few months before the end of the "…the war to end all wars". In this tribute to his poetry, Chris Searle seeks to present Rosenberg’s words as a narrative of his times, his world and his unique imagination; and the poet's significance to 20th century literature. It is lavishly illustrated with a photographic essay by the English photographer Ron McCormick, who lived and worked in Rosenberg’s streets and who documented the passing of ‘Old Jewish Whitechapel' during the early 1970s, portraying the street scenes and atmosphere that would have been familiar to the ‘Whitechapel Boys’. His powerful depiction of a unique mix of neighbours and community evokes the spirit of Rosenberg’s East London half a century before.

This Special Deluxe hardback version of WHITECHAPEL BOY is published in a restricted edition of 500 copies each signed by the artist and additionally includes a signed and dated photographic print.
