It is Burgess's first novel.[1] While not published until 1965, Burgess wrote it in 1949. As he explains, "I was empty of music but itching to create. So I wrote this novel...to see if I could clear my head of the dead weight of Gibraltar."[2] PlotThe story draws from Burgess's experience of being stationed in Gibraltar during World War II and satirizes traditional notions of battle heroism by parodying the Aeneid with antihero Richard Ennis taking the place of Aeneas.[3][4] The title, in addition to its Gibraltarian associations, contains a reference to the appearance of certain objects in the eye of one who suffers from astigmatism.{{citation needed|date=December 2013}} References1. ^{{cite journal|last=Nichol|first=Donald|title="Flagrant" versus "Fragrant" in Beaumont, Pope, Pound, and Burgess|journal=Modern Philology|date=August 1989|volume=87|issue=1|pages=76–82|doi=10.1086/391749}} {{Burgess}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Vision Of Battlements}}{{1960s-hist-novel-stub}}2. ^{{cite book|last=Burgess|first=Anthony|title=A Vision of Battlements (Introduction)|year=1965|publisher=Norton|pages=7–8}} 3. ^{{cite journal|last=Burgess|first=Anthony|author2=Charles T.
