520    Edward Thomas never left the train that stopped briefly at
       a Cotswold station, Adlestrop, just before World War I, 
       but what he saw resulted in one of the best known and 
       loved English poems, Adlestrop. Generations of literary 
       pilgrims have visited the village which inspired the poem,
       while many of today's writers have composed their own 
       tributes to the poet and the place where, after the 
       closure of the station, the nameboard was lovingly 
       retained. This anthology explores Adlestrop's literary, 
       topographical and railway associations. Anne Harvey 
       investigates the origins of the poem: did the train really
       stop 'unwontedly'? Was it an express? Was Thomas 
       travelling alone? His fascination with the railways began 
       in boyhood and is seen in two of his little-known short 
       stories, 'A Third-Class Carriage' and 'Death by 
       Misadventure'. The book also examines the connection with 
       Jane Austen, who visited her Leigh relatives at Adlestrop 
       Park and Rectory, and there are poems from Peter Porter, 
       Alan Brownjohn, P.J. Kavanagh, Dannie Abse and Brian 
       Patten. A wide selection of illustrations includes 
       facsimiles of Edward Thomas's original manuscript and 
       notebook entries, photographs and fine wood engravings by 
       well-known artists. This engaging anthology will appeal to
       all who have read and loved this classic poem.
