ISBN 9781557832269. This volume brings together, for the first time, the complete surviving screenplays written by Dylan Thomas for the British film industry. Edited and introduced by John Ackerman, it offers an important contribution to Thomas scholarship by documenting a lesser-known aspect of his literary career. This landmark collection presents the complete surviving screenplays of Dylan Thomas, revealing the Welsh poet as a gifted and versatile writer for the cinema. Written for documentary films, dramatic productions and government commissions, these scripts display the same lyrical imagination, powerful imagery and rhythmic prose that distinguish Thomas's poetry. Together they provide a fascinating portrait of his professional life beyond the printed page. The Complete Screenplays assembles Dylan Thomas's film scripts in chronological order, allowing readers to trace his development as a screenwriter during the 1940s and early 1950s. Many of these works were originally commissioned for documentary films produced during and after the Second World War, while others explore historical, social and literary themes.
