Though sometimes classified with Owen, Rosenberg and Sassoon as a 'war
poet', he was rather a poet who died tragically in the war, and whose
main subjects were the English countryside and its people, and the
solitude of the observing self. The present edition offers the complete
poems together with detailed editorial apparatus in what has become
acknowledged as the standard edition by R. George Thomas. It also
includes Thomas's remarkable prose War Diary of 1917.
