A collection of essays on Dylan Thomas, reading culture and his
place in modernist studies Reclining quietly with a book; an ear
glued to the Hi-Fi; sifting a library stack; the TV flickering; a
website gone live ... Few poets have inspired such remarkable
scenes and modes of interpretation as Dylan Thomas. Our means of
access and response to his work have never been more eclectic, and
this collection sheds new light on what it means to 'read' such a
various art. In thinking beyond the parameters of life writing and
lingering interpretative communities, Reading Dylan Thomas attends
in detail to the problems and pleasures of deciphering Thomas in
the twenty-first century, teasing out his debts and effects,
tracing his influence on later artists, and suggesting ways to
understand his own idiosyncratic reading practices. From short
stories to memoirs, poems to broadcasts, letters to films,
manuscripts to paintings, the material considered in this volume
lays the ground for a new consideration of Thomas's formal
versatility, and his distinctive relation to literary modernism.
Key Features Evaluates the breadth of Thomas's creative practice,
from short stories to memoirs, poems to broadcasts, letters to
films, manuscripts to paintings Draws on recently discovered
manuscripts and archival material in Britain and North America A
distinctive combination of cultural history, close reading, and
critical theory
