Edward Thomas''s Prose - Truth, Mystery, and the Natural World

Edward Thomas (1878-1917) wrote in the last two and a half years of his life a body of poetry that has endured. This book considers Thomas's varied work in prose on its own terms, exploring his nature writing, imaginative prose (both short stories and full-length fiction), and critical work.

A propos de l'auteur

Before moving to Bristol in 2007, Ralph Pite held a chair at Cardiff University. He completed his doctorate at the University of Cambridge where he was Junior Research Fellow at Trinity College and Teaching Fellow at Corpus Christi. He was Director of Bristol's Institute for Advanced Study (2013-17). His research focusses on literature's contribution to addressing the environmental emergency, both contemporary poetry in the European languages and writing from the past. This book and his study of Frost are part of that inquiry. He is now developing a reading of Romantic period literature and water-based industrial development.
