Between May 1930 and August 1935, Dylan Thomas kept numerous
notebooks of poems. They contain the drafts of almost all of the
work that would form his first two reputation-making collections,
18 Poems (1934) and Twenty-five Poems (1936), and many of those in
his third collection, The Map of Love (1939). Thomas sold four of
the notebooks, spanning May 1930 to May 1934, to the University of
Buffalo in 1941. However, the existence of a fifth notebook,
covering the period June 1934 to August 1935, was unknown until
2014, the centenary of his birth. The Fifth Notebook of Dylan
Thomas makes this newly-discovered text available to readers and
researchers for the first time. It contains the only existing MSS
versions of Thomas's most challenging poems, 'I, in my intricate
image' and 'Altarwise by owl-light', and fourteen other early
poems. It contains facsimiles and full transcripts of the
originals, is annotated throughout, and has a full scholarly
introduction. Exploring the contexts of these brilliant and
experimental lyrics - many with substantial reworkings and variant
passages - this landmark publication sheds new light on the
creative practice of one of the most important and well-known poets
of the twentieth century.
