Zusatztext [A] finely-crafted book ... I remember writing that review in 2011 after reading the first volume of this superbly presented series, Autobiographies, and commenting upon one of the central themes haunting the work of Edward Thomas: the inability to ever go back; the inaccessibility of a past which haunts and beckons whilst always being one step away from actualization. This new volume complements the two earlier publications and I wait with considerable anticipation for the next volume to appear.
