Dylan Thomas

Forfatterbiografi

Dylan Thomas, født Dylan Marlais Thomas den 27. oktober 1914 i Swansea i Wales, var en britisk/welsh forfatter, kendt især som digter. Han døde den 9. november 1953 i New York. Hans forfatterskab regnes for et centralt bidrag til det 20. århundredes engelsksprogede lyrik, præget af en musikalsk, rapsodisk sprogtone, intens billedrigdom og en ofte tilbagevendende tematik om liv, død, kærlighed og religiøse spørgsmål. Thomas’ arbejde spænder fra tidlige digte til senere samlinger, og hans position i litteraturhistorien hænger også sammen med den måde, han fik sit forfatterskab formidlet gennem mundtlige oplæsninger og radiotransmissioner. Blandt hans mest kendte værker er digtene “Do not go gentle into that good night” og “And death shall have no dominion”, og hans digteriske indflydelse kan ses i den vedvarende status, hans poesi har i antologier og i senere “collected” udgaver. Thomas omtales ofte som en af de mest markante lyriske stemmer i det 20. århundrede, og hans navn lever videre i Dylan Thomas-prisen, som hædrer fremragende yngre forfattere på tværs af litterære former.
