Famous for seminal poems such as 'Do Not Go Gentle into that Good Night', 'And Death Shall Have No Dominion' and 'A Refusal to Mourn the Death, by Fire, of a Child in London', Dylan Thomas was the author of a substantial body of poetry, which he began writing as a teenager and continued to expand until the end of his short and troubled life.
This is the most complete edition ever published of Dylan Thomas's poetry. The texts are based on the first published editions of the poems or on manuscript notebook versions. All of his Swansea Grammar School poems are here reproduced, many of them reprinted for the first time since their original appearance in the student magazine. For a precocious genius such as Thomas, they are important as they show his early interest in the ludic aspect of language and his rapid development into a more serious poet. The book contains over a thousand notes, with textual variants.
