Work of Words: Re-reading the poetry of Dylan Thomas

这个项目是第一个系统地将身体、性别、哥特式和怪诞以及田园诗的现代批评理论应用到迪伦·托马斯的诗歌中。它展示了早期诗歌是如何以及为什么在对20世纪30年代既定诗歌风格的混合重写中使用文化“中介”形式的。它借鉴了DTS的笔记本诗歌、档案材料和当代新闻、回忆录和视觉艺术；它描绘了它在战时条件下的后来发展，以及它最终演变为一种冷战田园诗的形式。

This project is the first to systematically apply modern critical theories of the body, gender, gothic and grotesque, and pastoral, to the poetry of Dylan Thomas. It shows how and why the early poetry uses forms of cultural 'in-betweenness' in a hybrid rewriting of established poetic styles of the 1930s. Drawing on DTs notebook poems, archive material and contemporary journalism, memoir and visual art; it charts its later development under wartime conditions, and its final evolution into a form of cold war pastoral.
