دانلود کتاب R.S. Thomas: Identity, Environment, Deity

This is the first book to treat the entire works of R. S. Thomas and will prove to be an indispensable guide and companion to the complete poems. Morgan not only recontextualizes and reinterprets the poet’s major themes of self, nature, and the search for deity; he breaks new ground with a penetrating investigation of Thomas’s long preoccupation with the philosophical and practical implications of science and technology. The book is divided into three parts, each of which interprets the development of a major theme over Thomas’s twenty-seven volumes, probing these particular themes and particular poems, with a meticulous insight. The book also treats Thomas’s work as a complex and interrelated whole, as a body of work that comprises a single artistic achievement, and assesses that achievement within the context of an array of major literary figures from Montaigne to Seamus Heaney and Wallace Stevens.
