(Under the Direction of Howard Keeley) ABSTRACT Dylan Thomas exhibited a variety of nostalgic influences within his poetry. A careful study of his life will reveal a nostalgia that evolved from adolescent musings upon an ideal past, to a self-destructive urge to return to innocence through death. Thomas incorporates a variety of historical influences within this nostalgia, but his primary influence is ultimately his own tormented past. This study not only focuses on the personal nostalgia of one man, but the variety of ways nostalgia can affect people, history and society as sociological force.

  • Dylan Thomas, Swansea, and Language1
    89 ‘There’s words’: Dylan Thomas, Swansea, and Language1 M. Wynn Thomas Dylan loved people and loved Swansea. Even the eccentrics and odd characters were his kinsfolk be they Swansea people.2 The words are those of one of Thomas’s closest friends, Bert Trick, and they seem to me to be a fair summary of the positive aspects of the relationship between the poet and his hometown. The negative aspects, mostly limited to that period in late adolescence when he morosely viewed Swansea as the provincial graveyard of his burgeoning talent, are lividly recorded in the self-dramatizing letters he sent to his young London girlfriend, Pamela Hansford Johnson. It is still possible, in one sense, to tour Thomas’s Swansea. Yet in another, more important, sense it is not. That is not only because such a substantial part of what he loved about the place was obliterated during three dreadful nights of air-raid in February, 1941. It is more importantly because a writer’s town can be accessed by only one route – through that author’s writings. We might even say that, as an inveterate writer, Thomas turned his town into words. But then, it was Swansea that had first set him on the way to becoming himself a figure fashioned out of language; a linguistic sign. Instead of word being made flesh, in his case flesh eventually ended up being made word. This sobering realization occurs to Thomas at one arresting point in his moving and grossly underestimated radio play Return Journey. Broadcast first in 1947, it is a haunting account of his post-war return to his hometown in a wry, comic, poignant attempt to reconnect with his youthful self.

  • “My Camel's Eye Will Needle Through the Shroud”
    “My camel’s eye will needle through the shroud” An Analysis of Dylan Thomas’s “Altarwise by owl-light” Sonnets with Particular Focus on their Intertextuality Von der Philosophischen Fakultät der Rheinisch-Westfälischen Technischen Hochschule Aachen zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades einer Doktorin der Philosophie genehmigte Dissertation vorgelegt von Tanja S. Romich, M.A. Berichter: Universitätsprofessor Dr. phil. Peter Wenzel Dr. Gavin R. Hopps Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 07. November 2014 Diese Dissertation ist auf den Internetseiten der Universitätsbibliothek online verfügbar. “My camel’s eye will needle through the shroud” To my parents and my sister – Because of you I never gave up. To my godchildren Silje and Noel – Believe you can and you will. Acknowledgements If it was not for Michelle Pfeiffer, this dissertation would not exist. It was her portrayal of a high school teacher in the 1995 movie Dangerous Minds that inspired me to start reading the poetry of Dylan Thomas. Who would have thought that my decision to go to the cinema at age fourteen would have such an impact on my academic endeavours? That being said, the completion of this doctoral dissertation would not have been possible without the support of a number of people. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all of them. My special appreciation and thanks go to my advisor, Professor Dr Peter Wenzel, for his support and the opportunity to write about a topic that is close to my heart. I thank him for his patience and for encouraging me to pursue my academic interests alongside building up my professional career.
