The Tenth Muse (1917)

By Edward Thomas

Book Overview

The Tenth Muse is a collection of poetry by Welsh poet Edward Thomas, first published in 1917. The title of the book is a reference to a concept in Greek mythology that there were nine muses who inspired artists and poets, but a tenth muse was believed to exist who inspired the greatest works of art. The poems in this collection cover a range of themes, including nature, war, and the human experience. Many of the poems were written during World War I, and reflect the poet's experiences as a soldier. The language of the poems is simple and direct, with a focus on the natural world and the beauty of everyday life. The Tenth Muse is considered one of Edward Thomas's most important works, and is widely regarded as a classic of English poetry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
