He published his first book, The Woodland Life (1897), at the age of just nineteen. A year later, he won a history scholarship to Lincoln College, Oxford. Despite being less well-known than other World War I poets, Thomas is regarded by many critics as one of the finest.
Autorenporträt
Philip Edward Thomas was a British poet and prose writer known for his thoughtful and lyrical works that captured the spirit of the English landscape and the human relationship with nature. Born in London in 1878 to Mary Elizabeth Thomas and Philip Henry Thomas, he was educated at St Paul's Juniors and Lincoln College. His writings often explored themes of nature, rural life, and quiet contemplation, reflecting his deep connection to the countryside. Although widely regarded for his poetry, he also produced notable prose and critical essays. Thomas's work is frequently associated with the subtle complexities of personal reflection and the fleeting moments of everyday life. Though sometimes identified as a war poet due to his service during World War I, much of his poetry does not focus directly on the battlefield but instead on the emotional and spiritual landscapes shaped by the war. His literary legacy remains influential, with his distinctive voice offering insight into both the beauty of nature and the human condition. Thomas died in 1917 during the Battle of Arras.
