Produktbeschreibung

In Edward Thomas' 'In Pursuit of Spring,' the reader is taken on a journey through the English countryside as the author recounts his bicycle ride from London to Somerset in search of the perfect spring. Thomas' descriptive prose captures the essence of the changing landscape and the natural world, immersing the reader in the beauty of the countryside. Written in a lyrical and reflective style, the book blurs the lines between travel writing and nature poetry, creating a unique reading experience for the audience. Set against the backdrop of a rapidly industrializing England, Thomas' work serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of connecting with nature in a modern world. Edward Thomas, a former literary critic turned poet and nature writer, was deeply influenced by the works of Wordsworth and Emerson. His own struggles with depression and his deep connection to the English landscape serve as the driving force behind 'In Pursuit of Spring.' This book is highly recommended for readers interested in nature writing, poetry, and the intersection of literature and the environment.

Autorenporträt

Philip Edward Thomas was a British author of poetry and prose. He is sometimes referred to as a war poet, despite the fact that few of his poems actually address his wartime experiences. He began composing poetry at the age of 36, although by then he had been a successful critic, historian, nature writer, and travel writer for two decades. He enlisted in the British Army in 1915 to fight in World War I and was killed in action during the Battle of Arras in 1917, shortly after arriving in France. Edward Thomas was the son of Mary Elizabeth Townsend and Philip Henry Thomas, a civil servant, writer, preacher, and local politician. He was born in Lambeth, south London, having previously lived in Surrey. He attended Belleville School, Battersea Grammar School, and St Paul's School, all in London. Thomas's family was predominantly Welsh. Of his six great-grandparents for whom information is available, five were born in Wales and one in Ilfracombe. All four of his grandparents had been born and raised in Wales. His paternal grandparents lived in Tredegar.
