Endorsements
"This book provides a striking and original account of Edward Thomas's composition process, which is widened to become a meditation on the act of composition itself. It situates Thomas in a network of intellectual affiliations that help to transform our understanding of him as a strikingly innovative poet, contemporary with other more obviously Modernist poets; and it is written throughout in an accessible, evenly paced way that leads the reader to some nevertheless surprising and complex conclusions." --Simon Dentith, University of Reading
