A definitive literary biography, The Life of Dylan Thomas chronicles the turbulent and extraordinary existence of one of the twentieth century's most celebrated Welsh poets. Constantine FitzGibbon presents an intimate and meticulously researched portrait of Thomas — from his boyhood in Swansea through his meteoric rise in London's literary circles, to his tragic death in New York in 1953 at the age of thirty-nine. Drawing on personal interviews, letters, and unpublished manuscripts, FitzGibbon reconstructs the creative genius and self-destructive passions that defined Thomas's life, illuminating the poet behind iconic works such as Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night and Under Milk Wood. Authoritative and richly detailed, the biography stands as the essential account of a man whose voice burned with lyrical intensity and whose legend has only grown with time.
