Fiction Adaptation Unit: Research

After researching the poet (Alice Meynnell) I have found out that she was an essayist and campaigner for women's suffrage. She converted to Catholic at an early age, which then went on to inspire her religious writings for the rest of her life. 

The poem I am adapting was one of her most famous ones; one of which has many meanings. Its main focus is the change from summer to autumn, and the sudden war which affected everyone. However she sheds light on the deaths of the fallen soldiers as they receive the "kiss of Christ" as an image of salvation. They sacrificed themselves to save their friends and family
