Bøger i Edward Thomas Prose Writing Selected Edition serien

This book contains the autobiographical prose of Edward Thomas, one of the most admired British writers of the twentieth century. In these works, many of which have never before been published or given the scholarly attention they deserve, Thomas provides a fascinating portrait of his childhood and teenage years in London, Wiltshire, and Wales.

Volume II is primarily concerned with Thomas's response to the countryside. A comprehensive introduction provides biographical details, an account of the circumstances of composition, and historical contextualisation of the volume's themes. Thomas's intricate prose is elucidated by a headnote at the start of each work and extensive annotation.

This volume is dedicated to Edward Thomas's work in literary criticism. It reproduces the two most important of his critical works: Algernon Charles Swinburne: A Study (1912) and Walter Pater: A Study (1913). The edition includes additional material, including reviews and an early Paterian short-story by Thomas.

This volume provides the annotated texts of two biographies by Edward Thomas: Richard Jefferies: His Life and Work (1909) and George Borrow: The Man and His Books (1912).
