Through an analysis of the artist figures in Thomas's early experimental prose, Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dog, Adventures in the Skin Trade, and Under Milk Wood, Mayer illustrates that he was continually exploring and re-evaluating his vocation, the nature of his chosen medium, and the world itself. Mayer links Thomas's prose works to his poetry through the blending of lyric and narrative strategies. As well, she examines Thomas's self-conscious concerns about his relationship to his modernist contemporaries. Mayer goes beyond the traditional New Critical approaches that dominate Thomas scholarship and uses contemporary critical theory to offer new insights into the complexity and ambiguity of a major twentieth-century writer.

Excerpt from The World of Dylan Thomas How many Thomases had Dylan? There were several, but all were linked by acquired impiety. First was the child who was father Of the man: the child of The Peaches with the demon-haunted imagination, cribbed in the domesticated fussiness of the Victorian parlor, reveling in the slops of the pig-sty, frightened by drunken Uncle Jim, solaced by Annie, im pressed by evangelistic Gwilym, forsaken by his rich friend J ack.* The child's sense of aloneness in an alien world of adults pervades the story. He Sits in a cart in a dangerous street while his uncle drinks in com pany inside the tavern; he dreams in the warm, safe island of his bed while all Swansea flows and rolls outside the house; he thinks that he had been walking long, damp passages all [his] life, and climbing stairs in the dark, alone; because Of his Uncle's temper, he loses the companionship Of a friend; he turns away even from the entrancing Gwilym when the latter in his religiosity pries. Only Annie's loving warmth welcomes him into a community of souls: One minute I was small and cold, skulking dead-scared down a black passage in my stiff, best suit, with my hollow belly thumping and my heart like a time bomb, clutching my grammar school cap, unfamiliar to myself, a snub-nosed story-teller lost in his own adventures and longing to be home; the next I was a royal nephew in smart town clothes, embraced and welcomed, standing in the snug centre of my stories and listening to the clock announcing me. The tyranny of the Uncle; of a religion whose basic commandment is Prepare to Meet thy God of a God who can see and spy and watch us all the time in the terrible shadows, pitch black, pitch black of a preacher who insists on public confession of the worst thing you've done of the respectability which shamed Annie, who wore her best black dress (smelling Of mothballs) but had forgotten to change out Of her gym shoes: such tyranny Thomas fought or mocked the rest of his life. And he needed and sought for the rest Of his life the warmth and light of Annie's arms and Annie's kitchen.

This critical study covers the whole range of Dylan Thomas's writing, both poetry and prose, in an accessible appraisal of the work and achievement of a major and dynamic poet. It interrelates the man and his national-cultural background by defining in detail the Welshness of his poetic temperament and critical attitudes, as both man and poet. At the same time, it illustrates Thomas's wide knowledge of and impact on the long and varied tradition of poetry in English. In that connection, it delineates and delimits Thomas's relationship to surrealism, compares and contrasts his work with that of other poets of the 1930s and 1940s, and shows how its power survives his early death in 1953, in the decade of the 'Movement' poets and beyond. A major aspect of this book is the close textual analysis of the works quoted; it explores anew the recognition due to the man who wrote the work, and helps us to separate the intrinsic achievement of the work from the foisted perceptions of the 'legend'.

When Dylan Thomas died in New York in 1953 he was at the height of his fame. His Collected Poems had already enjoyed great success and he had shown exceptional gifts as broadcaster, entertainer, conversationalist and story-teller. Since his death, argument about his work has continued, and the response to Under Milk Wood has shown how alive general interest remains. This affectionate portrayal of life in a Welsh village, originally written for broadcasting, has enjoyed wide success on stage and television. Mr G. S. Fraser, who will be remembered particularly for his study of W. B. Yeats in this Series, has written a highly personal study of Dylan Thomas's poetry. It will be of value to all who wish both to understand his impact on contemporaries and to assess his place in literature.

Seminar paper from the year 2002 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1.5 (A), University of Tubingen (English Seminar University, Tübingen), course: Version of Welsh, language: English, abstract: I have chosen the short story A Visit to Grandpa′s from Dylan Thomas′ book Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dog because for me it reflects a close relation between himself as a child and the countryside of Wales and how he felt and what he experienced there. In my first section I want to point out the changes in Dylan Thomas′s writing and how the story A Visit to Grandpa′s is connected with his own life and the time when he grow up. Linked to his own life then comes a kind of comparison of his childhood and our, the reader′s, memory of childhood will follow. In the main part I give a short description of the story and an introduction to the different characters. In connection with the description of the story I point out important things about atmosphere and characters in the narration and I want to connect parts of the story to the appearing situation and atmosphere. In addition to the explanation of the plot the occurring dreams will be mentioned and I try to explain what they might mean. The last part about the style of writing deals with the way Dylan Thomas wrote the short story A Visit to Grandpa′s. Then in the conclusion I want to bring together what I have said before and try an attempt why an adult reader still understands the feelings and problems in this child story.

Dylan Thomas’s reputation precedes him. In keeping with his claim that he held ‘a beast, an angel, and a madman in him’, interpretations of his work have ranged from solemn adoration to exaggerated mythologising. His many voices continue to reverberate across culture and the arts: from poetry and letters, to popular music and Hollywood film. However, this wide and sometimes controversial renown has occasionally hindered serious analysis of his writing. Counterbalancing the often-misleading popular reputation, this book showcases eight new critical perspectives on Thomas’s work. It is the first to provide in one volume a critical overview of the multifaceted range of his output, from the poetry, prose and correspondence to his work for wartime propaganda filmmaking, his late play for voices Under Milk Wood, and his reputation in letters and wider society. The whole proves that Thomas was much more than, to use his own dubious self-description, 'a writer of words, and nothing else’.
