Is Thomas really a Dymock poet, though, Sarah-Jane? I know he tends to get lumped in with them, but I think he's far greater than that.
Perhaps I'll know better when I've finished the book. But he makes quite a few appearances in
The Rattle Bag, which is more than be said (even wildly) about, say, Gibson, Abercrombie and Drinkwater, who seem ineffably minor by comparison.
But them's just my thoughts.
