Seller Description
This book was read one time and is in great condition. Just very little shelf wear at the corners of the cover. About the book: 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.
