Edward Thomas's Roads from Arras (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781527514249)

Edward Thomas is a paradox. One of our most highly-regarded poets and author of one of the nationâ (TM)s favourite poems, â oeAdlestrop⠝, Thomas is also one of the least-known British poets. These essays bridge that gap by offering fresh appraisals of his work. The volume includes a word-and-image response to Thomasâ (TM)s poem to his wife â oeAnd you, Helen⠝, by poet Deryn Rees-Jones and artist Charlotte Hodes; new research by Ralph Pite on Thomasâ (TM)s relationship with American poet Robert Frost; and a discussion of Thomas as a â oeWar Poet⠝ by distinguished scholar Jean Moorcroft Wilson, author of the most recent, highly-praised biography of the poet. This celebratory centenary volume edited by Adrian Grafe and Andrew McKeown, two of the leading poetry specialists in Europe, sheds new light on Edward Thomas and the roads his poems have travelled, a century after his death at the Battle of Arras on 9th April 1917.
