May Wedderburn Cannan (14 October 1893 – 11 December 1973) was a British poet who was active in World War I May was the second of three daughters of Charles Cannan, Dean of Trinity College, Oxford (he was in charge at the Oxford University Press from 1895 until his death in 1919). In 1911, at the age of 18, she joined the Voluntary Aid Detachment, training as a nurse and eventually reaching the rank of Quartermaster. Cannan published three volumes of poetry during and after the war. These were In War Time (1917), The Splendid Days (1919) which was dedicated to Bevil Quiller-Couch, and The House of Hope (1923), dedicated to her father. In 1934, she wrote one novel The Lonely Generation. Philip Larkin chose her poem "Rouen" to be included in the Oxford Book of Twentieth Century English Verse (1973), commenting that it "had all the warmth and idealism of the VADS in the First World War. I find it enchanting". Although Cannan ceased writing for publication in the 1920s, in her final years she completed this autobiographical work entitled Grey Ghosts and Voices (1976). The book looks back to her Edwardian childhood, the war years and those years immediately afterwards Ref MMM 7 Size: 188pp<
