Sommario/riassunto

Christopher Morgan writes with critical insight on the poet R.S. Thomas. This text recontextualizes and reinterprets the poet's themes of self, nature and the search for deity and investigates Thomas's preoccupation with the philosophical and practical implications of science and technology.
