Selected Letters

Edward Thomas--professional author essayist and critic--was thirty-nine when he was killed at the Arras offensive in 1917. Six months later his first collection of poems was published and his literary reputation secured. These Selected Letters--many addressed to such luminaries as Robert Frost Walter de la Mare and Eleanor Farjeon--present a uniquely vivid portrait of his life from his time as an undergraduate at Oxford through his final days at the front.
