{"product_id":"allen-edward-reading-dylan-thomas-9781474411554","title":"Reading Dylan Thomas","description":"A collection of essays on Dylan Thomas, reading culture and his place in modernist studies\n\u003cbr\u003e\nReclining quietly with a book; an ear glued to the Hi-Fi; sifting a library stack; the TV flickering; a website gone live ... Few poets have inspired such remarkable scenes and modes of interpretation as Dylan Thomas. Our means of access and response to his work have never been more eclectic, and this collection sheds new light on what it means to 'read' such a various art. In thinking beyond the parameters of life writing and lingering interpretative communities, Reading Dylan Thomas attends in detail to the problems and pleasures of deciphering Thomas in the twenty-first century, teasing out his debts and effects, tracing his influence on later artists, and suggesting ways to understand his own idiosyncratic reading practices. From short stories to memoirs, poems to broadcasts, letters to films, manuscripts to paintings, the material considered in this volume lays the ground for a new consideration of Thomas's formal versatility, and his distinctive relation to literary modernism.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nEdward Allen is Lecturer at the Faculty of English, University of Cambridge and a Fellow of Christ's College.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nCover image: Of Psalms and Shadows, 2014 © India Lewis\n\u003cbr\u003e\nCover design:\n\u003cbr\u003e\n[EUP logo]edinburghuniversitypress.com\n\u003cbr\u003e\nISBN 978-1-4744-1155-4Barcode","brand":"Edinburgh University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53690330087766,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9781474411554_1.jpg?v=1778857730","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/allen-edward-reading-dylan-thomas-9781474411554","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
