This concise and up-to-date biography challenges this depiction with a fresh portrait of the artist as a consummate professional. John Goodby and Chris Wigginton locate the source of Thomas's daring and inventive style in the poet's Anglo-Welsh origins as well as his historical, cultural, and social contexts: the Great Depression and 1930s literary London, surrealism, World War II, and Cold War popular culture. The result is a revealing and fresh introduction to the life and work of this important Welsh writer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Reaktion Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/09\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781789149326\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240","brand":"John Goodby, Chris Wigginton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44723220349109,"sku":"9781789149326","price":18.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_eb56e261-cd13-4a2f-94e0-27769397af67.jpg?v=1729007109","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/dylan-thomas-9781789149326","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
