Edward Thomas was perhaps the most beguiling & influential of First World War poets. Now All Roads Lead to France" is an account of his final five years centred on his extraordinary friendship with Robert Frost & Thomas fatal decision to fight in the war. The book also evokes an astonishingly creative moment in English literature when London was a battleground for new ambitious kinds of writing. A generation that included W. B. Yeats Ezra Pound Robert Frost & Rupert Brooke were making it new
- vehemently & pugnaciously. These larger-than-life characters surround a central figure tormented by his work & his marriage. But as his friendship with Frost blossomed Thomas wrote poem after poem & his emotional affliction began to lift. In 1914 the two friends formed the ideas that would produce some of the most remarkable verse of the twentieth century.

- & those not taken
- that are at the heart of this remarkable book which culminates in Thomas tragic death on Easter Monday 1917."
