| Abstract
|
:
|
Published to coincide with the centenary of the poet's birth, 'The Poetry of Dylan Thomas' is the first study to show how Thomas's poetry may be read in terms of modern critical theory, bringing to bear on it theories of modernism, the body, gender, the carnivalesque, language, hybridity, performance and the pastoral. It calls for a fundamental reappraisal of not only Thomas's poetry, but of the way in which post-Waste Land British poetry has been read over the last few decades, and presents for the first time a Dylan Thomas who makes full sense in 21st century terms
