Book synopsis

This study of the poems and prose works of Dylan Thomas traces his development as a writer, linking this with his Welsh background. The formative influence of Swansea, his family roots in West Wales and the childhood visits to Fernhill Farm and the nearby Blaen Cwm cottage are all included, together with the Boat House and Laugharne, the village life and the inspiration of its now famous land- and sea-scapes. The impact of Welsh nonconformity and the chapel, and the radical politics of Wales are also explored as important influences on the poet's career.
