Dennis Christopher George Potter was born on whitethorn 17th 1935 in the village of Berry Hill, near Coleford in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire, England (setting for Blue Remembered Hills).
He was the eldest son of a coalminer, Walter Edward Potter, and Margaret Potter inheritable Wale.George had been Dennis Potters paternal grandfathers name and Christopher that of his maternal grandfather. The Potters had another child, June (now June Thomas).
With the help of scholarships, he achieved a degree in Philosophy, Politics and Economics from Oxford University by 1959; the same year he married Margaret Morgan.
He worked loosely for BBC creating almost 40 TV productions, including 28 single veritable plays and 11 serials, 6 of which were adaptations of others original workings.
In addition he provided the screenplays for 9 movies and wrote a stage play, a short written report and 3 novels on top of the two works of non-fiction which had already appeared in the early sixties. Many other drafts and manuscripts exist for works for both television and film which have not further seen the light of day.
He suffered increasingly from psoriatic arthritis (causing painful inflammation almost joints) for most of his life.
In 1994, his wife dies from cancer in May while he himself dies of cancer of the pancreas in June.
Context of period 1943
The title comes from the 40th poem (in Roman numerals XL) in A.E. Housmans A Shropshire Lad. The poem is read by Potter himself at the contain of the BBC version of the play.

What spires, what farms are those?
That is the land of lost...If you want to engender a full essay, order it on our website: Ordercustompaper.com
