Description
A collection of essays on one of the 20th century's most popular yet critically neglected authors, this book explores the full range of Thomas's work. It uses approaches such as marxism, feminism and deconstruction previously neglected by critics and focuses on his complex relationships with surrealism, modernism, Wales, popular culture, the USA and his own contemporaries. In doing so, it restores Thomas to his rightful place as a major 20th century literary figure and cultural icon.
