Edward Thomas was born in Lambeth, London, in 1878, and educated at St Paul's College and Lincoln College, Oxford. Though his reputation is built on his poetry - which he took up at the suggestion of his friend Robert Frost - he was also a prolific writer of prose, much of it dedicated to capturing his love of the English countryside. Thomas voluntarily enlisted in the Artists' Rifles in 1915 and was commissioned into the Royal Garrison Artillery in 1916. He was killed in action at Arras on 9 April 1917. He is buried in France and commemorated in Westminster Abbey.
Matthew Hollis was born in Norwich, UK, in 1971. Ground Water (Bloodaxe Books, 2004) was shortlisted for the Guardian First Book Award and the Whitbread Prize for Poetry. Now All Roads Lead to France: The Last Years of Edward Thomas (Faber & Faber, 2011; W. W. Norton, 2012) won the Costa Biography Award and the H. W. Fisher Biography Prize. The Waste Land: A Biography of a Poem (Faber and Norton, 2022) was a book of the year in the Financial Times, New Statesman and Sunday Times. Earth House (Bloodaxe Books, 2023), was longlisted for the Laurel Prize for Poetry.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - When Edward Thomas was killed at the Battle of Arras in 1917 his poems were largely unpublished. But in the years since his death, his work has come to be cherished for its rare, sustained vision of the natural world and as ''a mirror of England'' (Walter de la Mare). This edition, drawn from Thomas''s manuscripts and typescripts as well as from his published works, offers an accessible introduction to this most resonant - and relevant - of poets.''In his lifetime, he was known and loved by a very, loving few. Now, since his death, he is known and loved by very many, and yearly this is more so. There is in his poems an unassumingly profound sense of permanence. A war came and ditched him, but his poems stay with no other wounds than those which caused them.'' Dylan Thomas ''A very fine poet. And a poet all in his own right. The accent is absolutely his own.'' Robert Frost''The one hundred and forty poems he wrote in the last two years of his life are a miracle. I can think of no body of work in English that is more mysterious.'' Michael Longley. Artikel-Nr. 9780571235698
