關於作者

Edward Thomas (1878-1917) was an Anglo-Welsh poet and essayist, whose literary contributions, although written in a relatively short life span, have left a lasting imprint on the canon of English literature. Primarily recognized as a war poet, Thomas began his career as a writer with prose work before shifting to poetry. His book 'Beautiful Wales', published in 1905, showcases his profound appreciation for the natural world and is reflective of his later poetry which often celebrated the English countryside while exploring themes of nostalgia, identity, and the passage of time. Despite the pastoral vein of his work, Thomas' life was not without tumult, largely colored by his struggle with depression and financial difficulties. Only turning to poetry in 1914, encouraged by his friend and fellow poet Robert Frost, Thomas quickly established a distinct voice. His works such as 'The South Country' and 'In Pursuit of Spring' demonstrate his mastery in capturing the essence of rural life. Tragically, his literary career was cut short when he enlisted in the British Army during World War I and was killed in action at the Battle of Arras. Posthumously, Thomas' poetry, particularly 'Adlestrop', attained acclaim, cementing his reputation as a significant figure in early 20th-century literature.
