Edward Thomas is an important figure in the English literary canon,
a major twentieth-century poet, he was also one of England's most
experienced and respected Edwardian and Georgian critics, and an
observer of the countryside second to none. Although he died at the
age of only 39, his prose output was massive and encompassed a
range of genres: biography, autobiography, essays, reviews,
fiction, nature books, travel writings, and anthologies. While
Thomas's stature as a poet is widely appreciated, his prose works
have yet to be given their critical due - in large part because
scholarly editions have hitherto been lacking. Edward Thomas: Prose
Writings: A Selected Edition shows that Thomas's prose deserves to
be much better known, by literary scholars but also the general
reading public. This six-volume edition establishes him as one of
the most important prose writers in English, who contributed
remarkable ideas and representations of the self and community, the
landscape and ecology, literature and history, the spiritual and
artistic life. It is the definitive edition of Thomas's prose and a
significant scholarly resource for the twenty-first century. The
second volume contains Thomas's writings on England and Wales, and
is mostly concerned with his response to the countryside. It covers
the entirety of his writing career, showing the development of his
identity and style. Works appear in chronological order within the
volume, which begins with a comprehensive introduction, providing
biographical details, an account of the circumstances of
composition, historical contextualisation of the volume's themes
and concerns, and an interpretation based on original research.
Thomas's complex and brilliant prose, intricately woven using many
quotations and allusions, is elucidated by a detailed headnote at
the start of each work, and by extensive annotation.
