The Poetry of Edward Thomas: Volume II - Last Poems

The life of Philip Edward Thomas, a Welsh-born poet and literary critic, is marked by his transition from a successful reviewer to a revered poet, encouraged by Robert Frost. Educated at Oxford, he married Helen Noble and began his literary career while mentoring fellow poet W. H. Davies. Thomas's poignant poems, particularly about the English countryside, gained acclaim, yet his output as a war poet remains limited. Enlisting in the military during World War I, he was tragically killed in 1917, leaving a legacy honored in Westminster Abbey's Poet's Corner.
