The original blue cloth binding remains exceptionally tight and square, with sharp corners and entirely unblemished boards. The spine's gilt lettering is remarkably bright and unoxidised, exhibiting no signs of fading. Internally, the text block is pristine and firmly bound, with the pages remaining crisp, bright, and completely free from foxing or prior ownership markings. The original dust jacket is wonderfully preserved within a protective sleeve, retaining its rich, vibrant colour without the common sun-fading to the spine, and displaying only the most trivial edge-wear. A superior, highly collectible copy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCatalogue Note: \u003c\/b\u003eFirst edition, first printing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eWhile this title is relatively accessible on the open market, locating a copy in such sharp, unsunned condition, and completely free of internal spotting or foxing, is increasingly desirable for collectors of twentieth-century poetry and modern first editions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003eIn \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"3\"\u003eFrequencies\u003c\/i\u003e, renowned Welsh poet and Anglican priest R. S. Thomas continues his stark and profound theological interrogations. Published in 1978, the collection captures Thomas's masterful and unsparing examination of faith, silence, and the perceived absence of God in a modern, technological age. With a piercing clarity and austere lyricism, the poems within this volume, including the celebrated \"The Absence,\" grapple with the limits of human language and scientific rationalism when confronted by the divine. A deeply introspective and intellectually rigorous work, it remains a cornerstone of twentieth-century religious poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54389316518227,"sku":"4760","price":29.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20260717_201328.jpg?v=1784832774","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/frequencies-r-s-thomas-1st-edition","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
