Biography of Edward Thomas (1878-1917)

Biography of Edward Thomas (1878-1917)

REVISED VERSION WITH ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL DETAILS

The poetry of Edward Thomas is often studied, especially now that it forms part of the OCR A-Level syllabus, but it is rarely appreciated for its notable capacity to capture the essence of England's pre-war countryside. This bygone era was something which Thomas held very dear and, when he decided to enlist, it was under the assumption that he was fighting to protect his country. His work has taken many years to be acknowledged for its strength and quality, which considering that all of his 144 poems were written in just over a year, is even more remarkable. Our biography offers an in-depth look at Thomas's childhood, and pre-war life, together with details about his war service and eventual death on Easter Monday, 1917.
