The Icknield Way
Edward Thomas's 'The Icknield Way' is a poetic exploration of the ancient track that runs through the heart of England, delving into the landscape, history, and folklore surrounding this important route. Thomas's lyrical prose captures the essence of the countryside he traverses, offering vivid descriptions of nature and the changing seasons. Written during a time of great social change and upheaval, the book serves as a nostalgic reflection on a simpler way of life, while also highlighting the enduring beauty of the English countryside. Thomas's attention to detail and his deep connection to the land make 'The Icknield Way' a captivating read for lovers of nature writing and poetry. Edward Thomas, a well-known poet and nature enthusiast, was inspired to write this book during his walks along the Icknield Way. His keen observations and emotional connection to the landscape shine through in his words, making this book a true testament to his love for the English countryside. I highly recommend 'The Icknield Way' to readers who appreciate lyrical prose, nature writing, and a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era.
Edward Thomas
Edward Thomas ranks as one of the foremost poets of the twentieth century, both in his own poetry and in his influence on subsequent poets. 'He is the father of us all, ' asserted Ted Hughes. This book combines the story of his life until his death at the Battle of Arras in 1917 with numerous illustrations, including photographs, printed material and original letters, many of which have never been published before. The book will add to what is already known of Thomas and his family before and after his death by putting his biography into a visual and historical context.

In Pursuit of Spring
Spring was late in 1913 and Edward Thomas decided to go and search for winter's grave and the tell-tale signs of season's turn - he set out to cycle westwards from London to the Quantocks. Edward Thomas 1878-1917 turned from writing prose to poetry in 1914. His work as a poet has been widely celebrated and admired - Ted Hughes described Thomas as "the father of us all". The Pursuit of Spring, originally published in 1914, bridges the divide between Thomas the journalist/critic and Thomas the highly regarded poet.
Edward Taylor's Gods Determinations and Preparatory Meditations
When the young minister-poet Edward Taylor moved to Westfield, Massachusetts, in November of 1671, he had written several poems. When he died there fifty-eight years later, in addition to thousands of sermons and more than 2,000 manuscript pages of original prose, he had composed some 40,000 lines of poetry. For two of his poetic projects in particular, Taylor is considered - with Anne Bradstreet - one of British North America's most accomplished poets. Daniel Patterson's Edward Taylor's Gods Determinations and Preparatory Meditations: A Critical Edition reconsiders the texts of Taylor's two major works for the first time since Donald Stanford's 1960 edition. This volume also offers the first complete text of all the Meditations that Taylor transcribed into his Poetical Works manuscript. The restoration of Taylor's text, however, is the most enduring value of this edition, which is designed to become the new standard edition of these poems. The scores of substantive variants and the hundreds of variants in matters of punctuation and capitalization existing between the Patterson and Stanford texts are fully reported in the back of the volume, as are all editorial emendations.
