Edward Thomas’s IN PURSUIT OF SPRING Part Two: From Rudge to the Quantocks


Listen Later

We’re back with the second part of our journey with Edward Thomas’s IN PURSUIT OF SPRING, the book which turned this frustrated critic and essayist into a major poet, with the advice and assistance of his great friend Robert Frost. In this episode we continue our journey into Somerset, following the exact route that Thomas took. On the way we visit Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s house in Nether Stowey, look out over the Bristol Channel at Kilve, and take in the immensity of the views from Cothelstone Hill, where Thomas himself finished his journey.
