Edward Thomas

A Life in Pictures

Richard Emeny
Although most of his writing was in prose, Edward Thomas (1878–1917) is now best remembered for his poetry, especially the beloved ‘Adlestrop’. With a focus on the people and places depicted in photographs from family albums, Emeny offers a new way of seeing Thomas, placing him in the wider literary and artistic contexts of his time while also describing his early years and the friendships and landscapes he cherished.

Full publisher description
Edward Thomas ranks as one of the foremost poets of the twentieth century, both in his own poetry and in his influence on subsequent poets. 'He is the father of us all,' asserted Ted Hughes.This book combines the story of his life until his death at the Battle of Arras in 1917 with numerous illustrations, including photographs, printed material and original letters, many of which have never been published before. The book will add to what is already known of Thomas and his family before and after his death by putting his biography into a visual and historical context.
