Overview
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.
