Horae Solitariae 12+

📓 This early work by Edward Thomas was originally published in 1902 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'Horae Solitariae' is a collection of essays on various subjects. Philip Edward Thomas was born in Lambeth, London, England in 1878. His parents were Welsh migrants, and Thomas attended several schools, before ending up at St. Pauls. Thomas led a reclusive early life, and began writing as a teenager. 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.
