Christianity and Literature: The paradoxes of R S Thomas
The Rt Revd Lord Harries · Gresham College
About
R S Thomas had a reputation for writing verse expressing a very bleak view of life, and being a dour and unsociable man. In fact some of his poems have a remarkable tender, lyrical quality and new evidence about his life reveals a man of great wit and warmth. The lecture will explore these paradoxes.
