The White Feather is a novel written by Lechmere Worral and first published in 1915. The story is set during World War I and follows the life of a young man named John Pentecost. John is a pacifist and refuses to enlist in the army, much to the disappointment of his friends and family who believe it is his duty to fight for his country. One day, he receives a white feather, a symbol of cowardice, from a group of women who are handing them out to men who have not enlisted. This event causes John to reevaluate his beliefs and he eventually joins the army. The novel explores themes such as patriotism, duty, and the pressure to conform to societal expectations. It also touches on the experiences of soldiers during the war, including the horrors of trench warfare and the emotional toll it takes on individuals. The White Feather is a thought-provoking and emotional read that provides insight into the complexities of war and the personal struggles of those who lived through it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
