Dylan Marlais Thomas was born at 5
Cwmdonkin Drive in the Uplands district of Swansea, Wales, on October 27, 1914.
Before his birth, Thomas's parents, David John (D. J.) and Florence Hannah, had
moved to the primarily Anglophone suburb from rural Welsh-speaking
Carmarthenshire. Although both D. J. and Florence were bilingual, they raised
Dylan and his sister Nancy to speak only English, even sending the children to
elocution lessons.
Dylan was an unremarkable student at the local grammar
school in Swansea where his father taught English. Given unlimited access to
his father's library at home, however, he engaged a precocious interest in
English literature and began composing poetry, publishing some of it in school
magazines. At sixteen, he left school to work for the local evening paper as a
reporter. Journalism proved an unsuitable occupation for Thomas, and he quit
the following year.
Between the ages of sixteen and twenty, Thomas kept
a series of notebooks (now at the
Lockwood Memorial Library in Buffalo) in which
he developed the challenging and dense style of his earliest adult poetry. As a
teenager his poems were published in
New Verse and in the
Sunday Referee's "
Poets' Corner." In 1934, Thomas received the "
Poets' Corner" Prize, an award that included the
publication of a first book of poetry.
During the mid-1930s--the years
between the publication of his first two volumes of poetry,
18 Poems (1934) and
Twenty-five Poems (1936)--Thomas embedded
himself in the London artistic scene, earning a reputation as a poet, drinker,
and storyteller. Sometime in 1936, Thomas met
Caitlin Macnamara, an aspiring dancer and former
mistress of the painter
Augustus John. The following year they eloped in
Penzance, Cornwall. The couple were penniless and often lived off the money and
housing they could borrow from family and friends. Shortly before Caitlin
learned she was pregnant with their first child, Llewelyn, they moved to the
Carmarthenshire fishing village of Laugharne.
During the war years,
Thomas managed to avoid military service, probably on medical grounds. He moved
between Laugharne and London, having secured work as a scriptwriter for
Donald Taylor's
Strand Films, a contractor for the Ministry of
Information. Thomas's lifestyle in wartime London was relatively controlled and
predictable; for the first time since his teenage foray into journalism, he was
earning a steady income.
Following the war, however, Thomas's life became
more chaotic.
Deaths and Entrances (1946), a
pocket-sized volume of poems in a more accessible style, was an immediate
success. Despite this, Thomas's domestic life grew more problematic: he and
Caitlin were struggling to support two children (daughter Aeronwy was born in
1943), and the pair's relationship was becoming increasingly dysfunctional.
Thomas no longer had the steady income from his wartime documentaries, and he
began to rely instead on income from scriptwriting for feature films and radio
broadcasts for the
BBC. In 1949, the Thomases moved back to Wales and
into the Boat House, a property in Laugharne purchased for them by their
benefactor
Margaret Taylor. In July of that year, a third
child, Colm, was born.
In 1949
John Malcolm Brinnin, director of the Poetry
Center at the Young Men's and Young Women's Hebrew Association in New York,
invited Thomas to visit the United States and cash in on his growing fame in
America. He traveled there in 1950, giving readings at the Poetry Center and at
college campuses as far west as San Francisco and Vancouver.
Three more
American tours followed, one in 1952 and two in 1953. By this time, Thomas had
been drafting for several years a play for voices about a day in the life of
Llareggub, a fictional Welsh town with a backwards-reading name. During his
third American tour, Thomas more or less finished the play, by then titled
Under Milk Wood, and it was first
performed on stage at Harvard University in May 1953.
Under Milk Wood would posthumously become
his best-known work.
Meanwhile, Thomas's health and marriage were
deteriorating; years of heavy drinking were exacting a cumulative toll. As he
began his fourth and final American tour in October 1953, his marriage appeared
to be unsalvageable, and Thomas succumbed to despair. He began a regimen of
self-destructive behavior, drinking copiously and often to the point of
delirium. On November 4, after a doctor's well-intentioned but ultimately fatal
injection of morphine, Thomas collapsed and fell into a coma. He died on
November 9, 1953, at St. Vincent's Hospital in New York City.
Return to the Table of Contents
The Dylan Thomas Collection consists of
manuscripts, correspondence, notebooks, drawings, financial records,
photographs, galley proofs, page proofs, and broadcast scripts. The collection
is arranged in four series: I. Works, ca. 1920s to 1954 (8 boxes), II.
Career-Related Materials and Personal Papers, ca. 1934-1953 (2 boxes), III.
Correspondence, ca. 1935-1953 (2 boxes), and IV. Third-Party Works and
Correspondence, ca. 1930s-1991 (17 boxes). This collection was previously
accessible through a card catalog but has been re-cataloged as part of a
retrospective conversion project.
The collection contains a miscellany of works, correspondence, and
personal papers. Present are manuscripts for a number of Thomas's best known
works, including
Under Milk Wood, "
Poem on His Birthday," "
Lament," "
In the White Giant's Thigh," "
Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night," and "
Elegy," the unfinished poem he was writing during the last
year of his life. Also present are a selection of juvenilia, work for radio and
film, and a significant body of correspondence from Thomas to his literary
agents
David Higham Associates. Series IV. Third-Party
Works and Correspondence contains material concerning Dylan Thomas, including
works and correspondence of his wife Caitlin and letters sent between mutual
friends immediately following his death. The bulk of this series documents the
research processes of two of Thomas's early biographers,
Constantine FitzGibbon and
Bill Read. Located at the end of this guide are
three indices: an Index of Correspondents, an Index of Works, and an Index of
Works by Other Authors.
Elsewhere in the Ransom Center are sixty-four
Vertical File folders containing material related to Thomas, including
newspaper and magazine clippings, printed materials, announcements, posters,
souvenirs, and playbills for productions of
Under Milk Wood,
Dylan Thomas Growing Up, and the
Group Theatre's
Homage to Dylan Thomas.
The Literary
Files of the Photography Collection contain more than 280 photographs related
to Thomas. Included are portraits of Dylan and Caitlin, their children, other
family members, friends, and associates, as well as photographic reproductions
of sketches by Thomas, scenes from a production of
Under Milk Wood, and views of Laugharne,
Wales.
The Art Collection's holdings under Thomas's name contain doodles,
cartoons, self-portraits, portraits, and sculpture, including twenty-seven
works by Thomas and depictions of Thomas by
Michael Ayrton,
Robert Colquhoun,
Rosa Freedman,
Gordon T. Stuart,
Oloff de Wet, and
Gordon Ziegler. One painting by an unidentified
artist depicts the house of novelist
Constantine FitzGibbon, one of Thomas's
biographers. Depictions of Thomas can also be found in the art collections of
Zdzislaw Czermanski,
Mervyn Levy,
Ivan Oppfer, and
Oloff de Wet.

Series I. Works,
ca.
1920s-1954 |
|
Series I. Works, ca. 1920s to 1954 (8 boxes) |
|
Series I.
Works is composed of Thomas's poetry, fiction, criticism, radio plays,
broadcast scripts, and film scripts. Materials are arranged alphabetically by
title. An Index of Works, arranged by title, is available at the end of this
guide. |
|
In cases where no single title applies and a descriptive title was
imposed by the original cataloger for the card catalog records--for instance,
[Six poems sent to the Baron Howard de Walden], [Parodies], and [Poems: 16
corrected typescripts]--those titles have been preserved and are indicated in
brackets. In instances where changes have been made to the naming of works or
where the original title has been replaced by a more accurate one, there is a
cross-reference from the previous title to the new one in the Index of
Works. |
|
Poetry in the Works series includes drafts, workings, and
handwritten manuscripts of
"In Country Heaven,""In Country Sleep," and
"Poem on His Birthday"; a revised
manuscript of
"In the White Giant's Thigh";
miscellaneous handwritten workings and fragments of
"Lament"; handwritten manuscripts
of
"Do Not Go Gentle into That Good
Night"; and a handwritten manuscript and typescript of
"Prologue." Also present are more
than seventy pages of drafts, fragments, and workings for
"Elegy," the poem Thomas was
drafting at the time of his death. |
|
Also notable among the poetry in this
collection is a selection of juvenilia, representing some of Thomas's earliest
poetic output. There are four fair copies in the hand of his mother Florence--
"Little Dreams,""The Mishap,""My Party," and
"The Secret Whisky Cure"--and five
presumably later pieces in Thomas's own hand--
"The Maniac,""Decision,""Inspirations,""Five Limericks," and
"La Danseuse." Each of these poems
is filed under its individual title. |
|
Materials related to
Under Milk Wood, Thomas's play for
voices, include extensive notes, workings, outlines, and an incomplete early
draft, along with a revised manuscript. Several printed scripts from posthumous
productions of the play are also present. There are also manuscripts for the
radio play
"The Town That Was Mad," an early
version of
Under Milk Wood. Elsewhere in the
collection, in Series IV. Third-Party Works and Correspondence, there is a
program by the for the production of
Under Milk Wood at the Poetry Center
of the YM-YWHA. |
|
Dylan Thomas's prolific work for the radio is present in
handwritten manuscripts, notes, and annotated scripts for a number of BBC
broadcasts and reminiscences, including
"Home Town--Swansea,""Laugharne," and
"Welsh Poetry." Work for the
broadcast
"The International Eisteddfod" is
present in several stages, including the BBC press pass and notebook Thomas
carried with him at the poetry festival in
Llangollen, Wales, in the summer of 1953. Also
present is a group of nine scripts with notes in the hand of radio producer
Aneirin Talfan Davies. Davies's revisions also
appear in the typescript for
Quite Early One Morning, the
collection of Thomas broadcasts he compiled and published in
1954. |
|
Thomas's work on film scripts is well represented and includes
several manuscripts for
The Beach of Falesá, his 1948
Robert Louis Stevenson adaptation. Also present
are revised page proofs of
The Doctor and the Devils and scripts
for wartime documentaries written for the
Ministry of Information,
Our Country and
The Unconquerable
People. |
|
Manuscripts resulting from the collaboration between
Thomas and his
Swansea friend
Daniel Jones include four poetry notebooks
featuring work under the joint pseudonym
Walter Bram. Other pieces include
"W. B. C. (Warmley Broadcasting
Company),""Voiceless Frolic," and
"Musical and Literary recital.""Bismuth"--a script embellished by
bawdy doodles--was composed sometime after 1950, according to Jones's
explanatory notes that accompanied the original acquisition. |
|
Prose
fiction is represented in the collection in the manuscripts and workings for
several of his stories, including
"The Fight,""In the Direction of the
Beginning," and
"A Story." Also present is the
revised typescript of
The Death of the King's Canary, a
comic detective novel written jointly by Thomas and his friend
John Davenport. The typescript dates from the
summer of 1940, when Dylan and Caitlin stayed at Marshfield, Davenport's
country home. |

|
Series II. Career-Related Materials and Personal Papers, ca.
1934-1953 (2 boxes) |
|
The materials in Series II. deal primarily with
Thomas's private life and with the details of his tours and public appearances.
Items here range from the mundane (scraps and jottings) to the highly personal
(documents concerning Thomas's death while on tour and the subsequent removal
of his body from New York). Career-related materials include fair copies of
others' poems from which Thomas read at public performances, a contract with
Harper's Bazaar, and date and address
books from his first two American lecture tours in 1950 and 1952. Filed under
the generic title Notes and Lists is a variety of items of interest, including
a betting slip, lists of words used by Thomas while composing poetry, and mock
recital programs. Several amusing self-portraits and caricatures by Thomas are
filed under Drawings. |

Series IV. Third-Party Works &
Correspondence, ca. 1930s-1991 |
|
Series IV. Third-Party Works and Correspondence, ca. 1930s-1991
(17 boxes) |
|
Occupying seventeen boxes, the fourth series of the Dylan
Thomas Collection is the largest. Materials are arranged alphabetically by
primary author or correspondent. Third-party correspondence is indexed in the
Index of Correspondents, and a separate index of third-party works, arranged
alphabetically by author, is available at the end of this guide. |
|
The
manuscripts and research materials of Thomas's biographer
Constantine FitzGibbon comprise the bulk of
the fourth series. These include the notes, handwritten manuscripts,
typescripts, and proofs for both
The Life of Dylan Thomas (1965) and
Selected Letters of Dylan Thomas
(1966). There are several boxes of transcripts and photocopies of Dylan Thomas
correspondence used by FitzGibbon while writing
Selected Letters, including
correspondence not published in the final version. Also present are research
photocopies of manuscripts whose originals are elsewhere, including extracts
from the diary of
Pamela Hansford Johnson, an early Thomas love
interest, as well as photocopies of Dylan Thomas manuscripts obtained by
FitzGibbon from the
British Museum. |
|
Series IV. also
contains the research materials of
Bill Read, boyfriend of
John Malcolm Brinnin at the time of Thomas's
American tours. This includes correspondence from a variety of persons in
Wales, England, and the United States who knew Thomas, often interfiled with
carbon copies of Read's letters to them. Correspondents include
Caitlin Thomas,
Bert Trick,
Pamela Hansford Johnson, and Thomas's
mother-in-law
Yvonne Macnamara. The notes and typescript for
The Days of Dylan Thomas (1964), the
work that resulted from Read's extensive research, are also present. The
revised typescript of
John Malcolm Brinnin's
Dylan Thomas in America (1955) is also
located in this series, filed under Brinnin's name. |
|
The materials of
Bill and Helen McAlpine, close friends of the
Thomases, can be found in this series as well. Since the Ransom Center acquired
the McAlpine papers relatively recently, they remained uncataloged until now.
Included with letters from
Caitlin Thomas to Helen are an undated
photograph of Caitlin, letters from Dylan to Helen, and from Caitlin to Dylan,
as well as three undated poems by Caitlin. Revealing letters sent to the
McAlpines from other friends--including
George Reavey,
John Davenport, and
Margaret Taylor--offer an intimate glimpse
into the shock that immediately followed Thomas's sudden death. Also present is
an album of twenty snapshots, sixteen with original negatives, of Dylan,
Caitlin, Dylan's parents, and the McAlpines. |
|
The manuscripts of
Caitlin Thomas filed under her own name
include the typescripts for her memoirs
Leftover Life to Kill (1957) and
Not Quite Posthumous Letter to My
Daughter (1963). There is also a handwritten manuscript of a poem
signed by Caitlin entitled
"Self Portrait." |
|
Manuscripts
of Dylan's mother
Florence Thomas include letters to BBC
documentary producer
John Ormond and a datebook in which she notes
the deaths of her husband, daughter, and son--events that occurred within the
span of one year. |
|
Filed under the
Dylan Thomas Memorial Fund are materials
relating to the recital
Homage to Dylan Thomas at the Globe
Theatre in January 1954. Included are manuscripts of tributes by
Cyril Connolly and
Edith Sitwell; correspondence between the editor
and anthologist
Leonard Russell (organizer of the tribute) and
Edith Sitwell,
T. S. Eliot,
Daniel Jones,
Richard Burton, and others; a handwritten note
by
Augustus John concerning his portrait of Thomas;
and a copy of the program, inscribed to Russell by the producers and signed by
Augustus John and
Louis MacNeice. |
