Ebook: A Dylan Thomas Companion: Life, Poetry and Prose

'...continuously illuminating and a real pleasure to read...John Ackerman provides what must be the most comprehensive and balanced account of the man and his work.' John Haris, Planet 'As nature is all we have, and all I am is a man, I'm quite interested in man and nature' declared Dylan Thomas in 1952, and the role of nature is the major focus in the interpretation of the poetry in this book. Nature is seen as crucial both in determining his poetic originality and the pantheistic vision of his later work. The book provides the first detailed account of Thomas's career and development as a prose writer, commenting on his work in films, on radio, as well as his stories and letters.
