Biographical Sketch
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.

Scope and 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, circa 1920s to 1954 (8 boxes), II.
Career-Related Materials and Personal Papers, circa 1934-1953 (2 boxes), III. Correspondence,
circa 1935-1953 (2 boxes), and IV. Third-Party Works and Correspondence, circa 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.

Dylan Thomas Collection--Folder List
Series I. Works, circa 1920s-1954
Series I. Works, circa 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 IV. Third-Party Works & Correspondence,
circa 1930s-1991
Series IV. Third-Party Works and Correspondence, circa 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.
