I make one image - though "make" is not the word; I let, perhaps, an image be "made" emotionally in me and then apply to it what intellectual and critical forces I possess; let it breed another, let that image contradict the first; make of the third image, bred out of the two together, a fourth contradictory image, and let them all, within my imposed formal limits, con­

  • Introduction

    Introduction

    Notes Introduction 1. For more on the Romanticism and Classicism debate in the maga- zines, see David Goldie’s Critical Difference: T. S. Eliot and John Middleton Murry in English Literary Criticism, 1918–1929 (69– 127). Harding’s discussion in his book on Eliot’s Criterion of the same debate is also worth reviewing, especially his chapter on Murry’s The Adelphi; see 25–43. 2. Esty suggests that the “relativization of England as one culture among many in the face of imperial contraction seems to have entailed a relativization of literature as one aspect of culture . [as] the late modernist generation absorbed the potential energy of a contracting British state and converted it into the language not of aesthetic decline but of cultural revival” (8). In a similar fashion, despite Jason Harding’s claim that Eliot’s periodical had a “self-appointed role as a guardian of European civilization,” his extensive study of the magazine, The “Criterion”: Cultural Politics and Periodical Networks in Inter-War Britain, as the title indicates, takes Criterion’s “networks” to exist exclusively within Britain (6). 3. See Suzanne W. Churchill, The Little Magazine Others and the Renovation of Modern American Poetry; Eric White, Transat- lantic Avant-Gardes: Little Magazines and Localist Modernism; Adam McKible, The Space and Place of Modernism: The Russian Revolution, Little Magazines, and New York; Mark Morrisson, The Public Face of Modernism: Little Magazines, Audience, and Reception, 1905–1920; Faith Binckes, Modernism, Magazines, and the Avant-Garde: Reading “Rhythm,” 1910–1914. 4. Thompson writes, “Making, because it is a study in an active process, which owes as much to agency as to conditioning.

His writings are interspersed with myths and allusions from classical as well as Renaissance Literature through the present day. The fourth chapter of Dylan Thomas is ”The craftsmanship and the Poet”, attempts to examine the influence of the Bardic tradition. The concluding chapter sums up the observations made in the preceding chapters. The chapter deals with my assessment of the poet’s work besides certain evaluations made by significant writers. I. The Poet And The Milieu Dylan Thomas expresses not only his poignant ideas but also displays the milieu and spirit of Welsh region through his verse. The long shadows of two World Wars of 1914-18 and 1939-45 left an indelible impression on the minds of sensitive readers. Science and Technology have transformed our lives.

How many years was this? Then followed the war, correspondence between us; And you became best man at the ‘Show’ Which turned out to be, not exactly happy but worthwhile, And your head was flooded with the wedded words Of pomp, fruit and carnal rectitude, Caitlin patient, gentle, smiling at your side.
