Selected Poetry and Prose of Edmond Holmes

This book represents the first scholarly collection of the work of an overlooked and neglected British poet. Featuring a comprehensive introduction and notes from Holmes’s official biographer, this collection breaks new ground in offering for the first time a fresh new body of work in the canon of nineteenth- and twentieth-century poetry.

John Howlett is a lecturer in education studies within the School of Social Science and Public Policy at the University of Keele.
