Edward Thomas: Selected Letters

3/5 ( ratings)

Edward Thomas, professional author, essayist and critic, was 39 when he was killed in the Arras offensive on Easter Day, 1917. Six months later his first collection of poems was published and his literary reputation secured. This collection of his letters presents a vivid portrait of Thomas's life, from his time as an undergraduate at Oxford through to his final days at the Front. They trace his struggle to establish himself as a writer, his long and successful fight against depression, and, amid the strain of a marriage which sometimes brought much agony, the strength of his love for his wife Helen.
