Abstract
Dylan Mariais Thomas was born in Swansea and educated at Swansea Grammar School where his father was the English master. He worked as a journalist and broadcaster. His first book of poems Eighteen Poems (1934) was followed by several more; Deaths and Entrances (1946) made his name, as a modern ‘bard’, romantic and rhetorical. Tales of his reckless way of life and heavy drinking added to his fame. Among his prose works are the autobiographical stories of Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dog (1955) and the prose-poetry play for radio, Under Milk Wood, on which he was working when he died. Collected Poems 1934–52 (1952) was reprinted twelve times during the 1950s. A new edition, The Poems of Dylan Thomas, was published in 1971.
