Description
Though Davies is a well-known and unique literary figure of the early twentieth century, most famous now forThe Autobiography of a Super-Trampand poems such as Leisure, which came 14th in the BBCs search to find The Nations Favourite Poems, no other volume of essays, or other critical monograph, concentrates on his work. This book not only provides a reassessment of Davies, putting him in his literary and cultural context, but also sheds light on the many more central literary figures he encountered and befriended. The central aim of the book is to reconsider his major works and his place in the literary and cultural milieu of his period.
