Description
Edward Thomas' 1913 Cycle Ride from Wandsworth to Somerset Revisited In March 1913, Edward Thomas embarked on a journey from Wandsworth in London to Somerset, seeking evidence of the enduring countryside he had grown to love. This was not a simple journey, but one that took him through the soft underbelly of southern England, passing through cities, towns, villages, and hamlets, as well as the open countryside. Thomas was on the lookout for signs of a traditional way of life, but his search also brought him into contact with the auguries of change that were sweeping across the countryside. This book follows Thomas as he revisits his loves, preoccupations, and deeper concerns, touching upon the auguries that inhabit the modern landscape. As he reflects on his journey, Thomas' thoughts inevitably place questions on the path to our own future, a hundred years on. A thought-provoking exploration of the intersection of past and present, this book offers a unique perspective on the enduring power of nature and the human experience.
