About this Item

Dylan Thomas's letters bring the poet and his times to life in a way that almost no biography can. The letters begin in the poets schooldays, and end just before his death in New York at the age of 39. In between, he loved, wrote, drank, begged and borrowed his way through a flamboyant life. He was an enthusiastic critic of other writers work and the letters are full of his thoughts on his own work and on his friends, as well as unguarded and certainly unpolitical comments on the work of his contemporaries - T.S. Eliot, W.H. Auden and Stephen Spender among others. /// This is a 1st edition hardback with its dustjacket in near to fine condition-the D.J is a little faded. (982 pages & 23 pages of introduction). This is a heavy book, so there will be an extra postage charge.
