		Philip Edward Thomas was born March 3, 1878, in Lambeth, London, the eldest of six sons of Welsh parents.
		Shortly after their first child was born, Thomas won a scholarship to Lincoln College in Oxford and later graduated with a degree in history, further diverging from the career path his father hoped he would follow.
		Thomas himself helped build Frost's reputation in Britain, and thereby the United States where Frost was still unrecognized, by writing a rave review of North of Boston in 1914.

	Edward Thomas: A story and poems
		This double memoir uses Edward's letters and Eleanor's diaries and linking commentary to provide an extraordinarily candid account of their developing friendship, and of the enthusiasms they shared - both loved walking, and it was during this period that Edward first found his way into poetry.
		Edward was often deeply depressed, a man who found in nature something fundamental and ideal, a soldier-poet who wrote about the war in a new way, but Eleanor also shows us another side to his character, capturing moments of joy and humour.
		Thomas describes for her his family, his friendships with other writers, D. Lawrence among them, and also provides an exceptionally detailed account of his experiences in the First World War with the Artists' Rifles.

	Edward Thomas Fellowship
		The poems remain as much alive now as when they were written, quietly yet surely capturing the essence of the English countryside which Edward Thomas knew through all his senses.
		He is the least rhetorical of poets, modestly sharing his experiences with his readers and leading them into the reality behind the words until, for instance, we too can almost hear 'all the birds of Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire'.
		Edward Thomas is commemorated in Poets' Corner in Westminster Abbey, by pictorial windows in two parish churches, and by a sarsen boulder memorial on the hillside above Steep in Hampshire.

	Perceptive Travel - I Remember Adlestrop
		Its author, Edward Thomas, was like some long-passed uncle, kept alive by his diaries which contained this quaint poem about being aboard a train which stopped at a tiny village in June.
		I have a pocket edition of Thomas’ verse—-it is faded and taking on the curve of a buttock—-and I saw it stuck out between two large volumes of something historical.
		However, Thomas was a walking man who rambled the nearby countryside regularly, so I figured a hearty walk finishing in Adlestrop would follow the spirit of the law, if not the letter.

	Frost's Life and Career--by William H. Pritchard and Stanley Burnshaw
		While many reviewers were content to speak of the American poet's 'simplicity' and artlessness, Thomas recognized the originality and success of Frost's experiments with the cadences of vernacular speech--with what Frost called 'the sound of sense'.
		Frost, Robert (26 Mar. 1874-29 Jan. 1963), poet, was born Robert Lee Frost in San Francisco to Isabelle Moodie, of Scottish birth, and William Prescott Frost, Jr., a descendant of a Devonshire Frost who had sailed to New Hampshire in 1634.
		For whatever reason, the poet felt unable to renounce that decision despite his awareness of Thompson's frequently unsympathetic, even hostile constructions of his attitudes and conduct.
