Edward Thomas

[parky]

Thanks for including Adlestrop in your recent entry Andy. I studied Edward Thomas as part of my English A' Level and reading it takes me back.

Back then I had a big potato on my shoulder about literature, and poetry and could never understand why we couldn't study stuff that was more relevant, less high brow and maybe less snobbish.

Consequently I hated all that stuff and loved Stephen King (still do actually and think he's a better writer than some people give him credit for, just because he writes genre fiction doesn't mean his perception of human beings is not acute but thats another thing), however its only as I matured (like a good cheese perhaps?) that I realised just how good all that stuff is (such as Austen, Hardy, Dickens (just love Dickens!)), but I never revisited Edward Thomas.

Maybe I will now.

Cheers
