Christopher is currently compiling a catalogue raisonné of the works of the artist C.R.W. Nevinson. His essay ‘Nevinson and Fiction: a Survey’ appeared in the Nevinson anthology A Dilemma of English Modernism (University of Delaware Press, 2007). He has given talks on Nevinson, and on British artists and pacifism during World War I, and also has an abiding interest in the artist-writer Wyndham Lewis and the poet Edward Thomas.   

"My poem Against Darkness, written in response to the England Remembered Project, is also against ‘war’, which is never referred to directly. Jacky Dillon’s image of a tranquil English landscape became a talisman and symbol of peace which was so important to its possessor that it is by the ‘mind’s screen enlarged’ to such an extent that the feeling of ‘peace’ will overwhelm the taste for ‘war’".  Christopher Martin
