Book Overview
In March 1913, as the storm clouds of the Great War gathered, Edward Thomas set out from the suburbs of South London and travelled on his bicycle through Surrey, Hampshire and Wiltshire towards the Somerset coast. He was a thirty-five-year-old literary critic and country writer at the time, a husband and father, a lover of poetry and places, who took to the road to meet the arrival of spring after what had been a long, melancholy winter. Returning from this journey with his imagination and notebooks overflowing, the publication of In Pursuit of Spring set Edward Thomas on his way to becoming one of the great poets of the twentieth century. Today, as the Earth's atmosphere warms and our seasons begin to shift, his search for springtime becomes ever more poignant. Our edition includes the photographs that Edward Thomas took during his journey. Recently rediscovered and published here for the first time, these images offer us a glimpse of southern England before the First World War and give us rare insight into what drew the poet's eye as he wandered the byways and highways westward.
