While Beating for Light is primarily a work of fiction, much of the novel’s factual information was drawn from the four excellent biographies of Isaac Rosenberg. I therefore gratefully acknowledge: Journey To The Trenches by Joseph Cohen, A Half Used Life by Jean Liddiard, Isaac Rosenberg: Poet And Painter by Jean Moorcroft Wilson, God Made Blind by Deborah Maccoby.

I also wish to express gratitude to Ian Parsons for his introduction and notes to The Collected Works Of Isaac Rosenberg published by the New York Oxford University Press.
