The 20th century English poet Edward Thomas wrote in excess of 140 poems in the last two years of his life. If you are studying for AS Level English Literature, then you have just 15 of them to read, unravel and understand. This handy guide will ensure that you can do just that. All you need is a couple of clear hours ... then let this Gavin's Guide do the rest! On a first reading, Edward Thomas' work can seem out-dated, trivial or even dull. But it is not! Use this Guide to help develop your own ability to analyse and enjoy this challenging poetry. Inside, you will discover: * Why the sharp emotions Thomas expresses are still relevant today. * How he uses rhyme schemes to startling effect. * Explore connections between the poems - an essential skill for A Level success with OCR. * Learn how to find hidden meanings and add depth to your essays. * For the fullest understanding - do read in conjunction with my other book on Edward Thomas - The Secret Code of Edward Thomas, also on Amazon.
