"This book uses strategically selected readings to trace the development of particular themes and preoccupations in Thomas' work." - Barry Sloan, University of Southampton "Davis says of R S Thomas, "His pilgrimage will long be traced by faithful followers and by readers still to come." Davis' book succeeds in showing why this should be so." - D Z Phillips, Professor Emeritus, Swansea University
