EDWARD THOMAS

ENGLISH POET OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR AND THE ENGLISH COUNTRYSIDE

EDWARD THOMAS 1878 - 1917

Edward Thomas is a greatly loved English poet, and, for many, the war poems are not the main interest. He was a poet of England and the English countryside, the weather, and the seasons. He was deeply reflective, often melancholy, sincere, plain and direct in all he said and did.
