- Philip Edward Thomas ব্রিটিশ কবি, প্রাবন্ধিক এবং ঔপন্যাসিক ছিলেন।
- যদিও তাঁর কবিতার খুব কম সংখ্যক সরাসরি যুদ্ধের অভিজ্ঞতা বর্ণনা করলেও তিনি সাধারণভাবে war poet হিসেবে বিবেচিত ছিলেন।
Edward Thomas, in full Philip Edward Thomas, (born March 3, 1878, Lambeth, London, Eng.—died April 9, 1917, Arras, France), English writer who turned to poetry only after a long career spent producing nature studies and critical works on such 19th-century writers as Richard Jefferies, George Borrow, Algernon Charles Swinburne, and Walter Pater.
- Thomas enlisted in the British army; freed from routine literary work, he was able to produce increasingly fluent poetry.
- The rhythms of his verse are quiet and unstressed; he was above all a poet of the country.
- He was killed during World War I, and most of his poems were published posthumously, though a few were published under the name Edward Eastaway during his lifetime. That's why he is known as war poet.
- Thomas’ Collected Poems appeared in 1920.
