Poetry Miller, Alice Duer: The White Cliffs (poetry). v1. 26 Dec 2021

[GrannyGrump]

A lovely and loving narrative poem about true love and loss.

The story concerns a young American girl of good Yankee stock, who marries an upper-class Englishman, loses him in the Great War, bears his son, and finds herself facing, with her indomitable mother-in-low, the new peril of World War II.

This book was made into the 1944 film “The White Cliffs of Dover.”

============
Alice Duer Miller (July 28, 1874 – August 22, 1942) was an American writer whose poetry actively influenced political opinion. Her feminist verses impacted on the women’s suffrage issue, while her verse-play The White Cliffs encouraged U.S. entry into World War II. She also wrote novels and screenplays. Her first book, The Modern Obstacle, was published 1903, but she scored her first major success with Come Out of the Kitchen in 1916. That story was made into a play and later the 1948 film Spring in Park Lane.
