Dylan Thomas: 1914-1953 Age of anxiety, with Auden Born in Wales, he is famous for his acutely lyrical and emotional poetry, as well as his turbulent personal life. In his life he avoided becoming involved with literary groups or movements, and unlike other prominent writers of the 1930s—such as Auden, for example—he had little use for socialistic ideas in his art. Thomas can be seen as an extension into the 20th century of the general movement called Romanticism, particularly in its emphasis on imagination, emotion, intuition, spontaneity, and organic form. Thomas is largely known for his imaginative use of language and vivid imagery in his poems. Like James Joyce before him, Dylan Thomas was obsessed with words, with their sound and rhythm and especially with their possibilities for multiple meanings. This richness of meaning, an often illogical and revolutionary syntax, and catalogues of cosmic and sexual imagery render Thomas’s early poetry original and difficult. Some of Thomas’s key themes: the unity of time, the similarity between creative and destructive forces in the universe, and the correspondence of all living things. Drinking became a serious problem. He avoided service in World War II because of medical problems, He was able to secure employment during the war years writing documentary scripts for the BBC.
