Christopher Morgan writes with keen critical insight on the controversial poet R.S. Thomas, considered to be one of the leading writers of the 20th century. This is the first book to treat Thomas's entire oeuvre and will prove to be an indispensable guide and companion to the complete poems. The book is divided into three parts, each of which interprets the development of a major theme over Thomas's 27 volumes, probing 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. R.S. Thomas: Identity, Environment and Deity proves invaluable as a beginner's introduction to the Welsh poet, as a student's guide to critical thinking about the poet's work and as a provocative new step in scholarly studies.
