Note(s) : Between May 1930 and August 1935, Dylan Thomas kept numerous notebooks of poems. They
contain the drafts of almost all of the work that would form his first two reputation-making
collections, 18 Poems (1934) and Twenty-five Poems (1936), and many of those in his
third collection, The Map of Love (1939). Thomas sold four of the notebooks, spanning
May 1930 to May 1934, to the University of Buffalo in 1941. However, the existence
of a fifth notebook, covering the period June 1934 to August 1935, was unknown until
2014, the centenary of his birth. The Fifth Notebook of Dylan Thomas makes this newly-discovered
text available to readers and researchers for the first time. It contains the only
existing MSS versions of Thomas's most challenging poems, "I, in my intricate image"
and "Altarwise by owl-light", and fourteen other early poems. It contains facsimiles
and full transcripts of the originals, is annotated throughout, and has a full scholarly
introduction. Exploring the contexts of these brilliant and experimental lyrics -
many with substantial reworkings and variant passages - this landmark publication
sheds new light on the creative practice of one of the most important and well-known
poets of the twentieth century
