Description

In Pursuit of Spring is a poignant prose work by Edward Thomas, written in 1914. The poem recounts his bicycle journey through the South Country in March 1913, as winter slowly gave way to spring.

Thomas's account not only describes the landscapes he encountered but also records his thoughts and feelings about the natural world around him. A unique aspect of this work is that Thomas took photographs during his journey, which have now been preserved and are included in the book.

The result is a deeply personal and evocative exploration of the changing seasons, one that stands as an elegy for a lost world. This edition brings together Thomas's prose and photography, offering a rare glimpse into the poet's inner world and his relationship with nature.
