Ackerman, John: Dylan Thomas (€ 62,99) `That brilliant commentator on Dylan, John Ackerman' - Andrew Sinclair, Dylan Thomas: Poet of his People John Ackerman's highly acclaimed study of the poems and prose works of Dylan Thomas traces his development as a writer, linking this for the first time with his Welsh background. The formative influence of Swansea on the young poet, his family roots in West Wales and the childhood visits to Fernhill farm and the nearby Blaen Cwm cottage are all included, together with the Boat House anhd Laugharne, the absorbing village life and the inspiration of its now famous land- and sea-scapes. The impact of Welsh nonconformity and the chapel, and the radical politics of Wales are also explored as important influences on the poet's career. The 1994 preface, together with the introduction, throws new light on later poems like 'Prologue', the poet's work in film, broadcasting, as reader and as lecturer, while his own newly-discovered words, sharp and witty and with a poet's eye highlight his life, times and craft.

Allen (Hg.):, Edward: Reading Dylan Thomas (€ 33,00) A collection of essays on Dylan Thomas, reading culture and his place in modernist studies Reclining quietly with a book, an ear glued to the Hi-Fi, sifting a library stack, the TV flickering, a website gone live ... Few poets have inspired such remarkable scenes and modes of interpretation as Dylan Thomas. Our means of access and response to his work have never been more eclectic, and this collection sheds new light on what it means to 'read' such a various art. In thinking beyond the parameters of life writing and lingering interpretative communities, Reading Dylan Thomas attends in detail to the problems and pleasures of deciphering Thomas in the twenty-first century, teasing out his debts and effects, tracing his influence on later artists, and suggesting ways to understand his own idiosyncratic reading practices. From short stories to memoirs, poems to broadcasts, letters to films, manuscripts to paintings, the material considered in this volume lays the ground for a new consideration of Thomas's formal versatility, and his distinctive relation to literary modernism. , ISBN/EAN: 9781474473170 (Language: Edward Allen is Lecturer at the Faculty of English, University of Cambridge and a Fellow of Christ's College. )

Golestan, Ebrahim: An Encounter with Dylan Thomas (€ 49,60) Abadan, 1951. Iran and Britain are bracing for battle over the continued British monopoly of Iran's oil. Twenty-nine-year-old Ebrahim Golestan, who was to become a towering figure in Iranian cinema and literature, encounters Dylan Thomas, the famous Welsh poet, who died two years later at the age of thirty-nine from bronchial disease and pneumonia. More for his celebrity than an intimate knowledge of the subject, Thomas had been sent to Iran by the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company to write a script for a propaganda film about the company's supposedly salutary role in the country. But for a few hours, Golestan and Thomas pause amidst the escalating standoff between their two countries and speak candidly about poetry, history, philosophy, and the perils of translation. Published here for the first time is the English translation (with facing pages in the original Persian) of Golestan's unflinching portrayal of that encounter, revealing, all too clearly, how unsuited Thomas was for the task in hand.Accompanying the translation is an account of Thomas's time in Iran, written by Abbas Milani, Director of the Iranian Studies Program at Stanford University, together with Alina Utrata, a Ph.D. candidate and Gates Cambridge scholar. Based on the poet's letters, journals, and archival material in England and Wales, it helps to shed further light on an episode long shrouded in mystery and plagued by controversy. Publication of this book coincides with the hundredth birthday in October 2022 of Ebrahim Golestan. To mark the occasion, Professor Milani has included a personal and erudite introductory essay on Golestan's life and work, examining his pioneering approach to film and his important contribution to Iranian literature, despite living in exile for most of his adult life. With a filmography and selected bibliography of the works by or about Golestan, this multifaceted volume offers not only a striking commentary on Iranian arts, politics, and history, set against the tense backdrop of the impending geopolitical clash between Britain and Iran, but also a commemoration of the work of one of the most eminent and influential representatives of Iranian culture in modern times. , ISBN/EAN: 9781949445411

Greenway, William: The Poetry of Personality (€ 54,20) Even lovers of Dylan Thomas's poems are often puzzled by his habits of language, which sometimes take the form of unusual diction and unique perceptions. This study, on the hundredth anniversary of his birth, is a must-read for both Thomas's fans and newcomers interested in an introduction to his works and the unique sensibility that created them. Chapters are devoted to his poetic perspectives, ranging from the microscopic to the cosmic, his unusual perceptions of the world, which some critics have described as those of an almost altered reality, his diction, or working vocabulary, his penchant for refurbishing clichés, his hilarious sense of humor and linguistic playfulness, his development as a poet, and his concern for sound, often resulting in a lofty, at times Biblical, though secular, tone. In summary, the study fully explores the heart and mind behind the poems, and shows why his work will always remain in the top rank of English poetry. , ISBN/EAN: 9781498508889 (Language: William Greenway is Professor of Philosophical Theology at Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary.

Kidder, Rushworth M.: Dylan Thomas (€ 33,60) Since the Bible appears so frequently in Dylan Thomas' work, some critics have decided that he must be a religious poet. Others, noting blasphemous statements and certain irreligious aspects of Thomas' personal life, contend that he was no such thing. Rushworth M. Kidder, investigating this problem, looks below the surface of the obviously religious imagery and discovers a more profound poetry. The first part of this book discusses the nature of religious poetry and the application of that term to Thomas' work, it then develops the necessary background based on his letters and prose comments to provide a foundation for the study, and finally it examines the relationship between the religious aspects of his poetry and his well-known ambiguity. The author re-defines the vocabulary for dealing with religious imagery by establishing three distinct categories of imagery: referential, allusive, and thematic. This original technique is used to examine critically Thomas' poems to show the development of his religious and poetic thought. There are numerous close, sensitive readings of individual poems to show how his poetry, like the Bible, teaches by parable, speaking deliberate ambiguity rather than simple dogma. This strategy inspired poetry that is technically complex but thematically simple, a mode of verse that became more explicitly religious in the poet's final years. Originally published in 1973.

Krücker, Franz-Josef: Das Wales des Dylan Thomas (€ 18,00) Ich bin ein Waliser. Ich bin ein Trinker. Ich bin ein Menschenfreund. Der walisische Dichter und Essayist Dylan Thomas (1914 - 1953) blieb Zeit seines Lebens mit der walisischen Landschaft verbunden. In seinem Geburtsort Swansea, einer Hafenstadt an der walisischen Südküste, wurde schon früh seine Fantasie beflügelt. Er strich durch den imaginierten Dschungel im Park gegenüber dem Elternhaus und schrieb schon als Jugendlicher Gedichte und Erzählungen. Zunächst als Reporter und als Laienschauspieler tätig, entwickelte er sich bald zu einer ganz eigenständigen Stimme in der englischsprachigen Lyrik. Sein Vokalstück Unter dem Milchwald wurde zu einem Welterfolg. Mit seiner Frau Caitlin und ihren drei Kindern zog der Dichter weiter nach Westen in das Hafendorf Laugharne. Dort bewohnten sie das Boathouse , von dem aus sie einen weiten Blick über die Mündung des Flusses Taf hatten, eine weitläufige Wasserlandschaft, die innerhalb von Minuten ihr Gesicht ändern kann. Eine ehemalige Garage, von ihm The Shack genannt, diente ihm als Schreibwerkstatt. Meist ging er dann hinüber zu Brown's Hotel, um zu trinken und den kolossalen Lügnern an der Theke zu lauschen. Sein Alkoholismus trug vermutlich auch zu seinem frühen Tod bei. Auf einer Lesereise nach Amerika starb Dylan Thomas im Alter von nur 39 Jahren. Eine große Waliser Stimme war erloschen. , ISBN/EAN: 9783948114138 (Language: Franz-Josef Krücker studierte Anglistik und Sozialwissenschaften an der Universität Köln.

Lycett, Andrew: Dylan Thomas (€ 18,18) The renowned literary biographer offers a thoroughly well-written chronicle of the legendary Welsh poet's life that is rich in anecdote (The New Yorker). Dylan Thomas is as legendary for his raucous life as for his literary genius. The author of the immortal poems Death Shall Have No Dominion, Before I Knocked, and Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night, as well as the short story A Christmas in Wales, and the play for voices Under Milk Wood, published his first book, 18 Poems, in 1934, when he was only twenty years old. When he died in New York in 1953, at age thirty-nine, the myths took hold: he became the Keats and the Byron of his generation-the romantic poet who died too young, his potential unfulfilled. Making masterful use of original material from archives and personal papers, Andrew Lycett describes the development of the young poet, brings valuable new insights to Thomas's poetry, and unearths fascinating details about the poet's many affairs and his tempestuous marriage to his passionate Irish wife, Caitlin. The result is a poignant yet stirring portrait of the chaos of Thomas's personal life and a welcome re-evaluation of the lyricism and experimentalism of his literary legacy. This is the best biography of the poet I have ever read. -Robert Nye, The Scotsman , ISBN/EAN: 9781468304077 (Language: Andrew Lycett received a history degreefrom Oxford. His previous acclaimed biographiesinclude lives of Ian Fleming and Rudyard Kipling.He lives in London. )

Countering those who have wondered if Thomas himself was mostly to blame for his demise, this account weaves together a chilling picture of demanding friends and colleagues who did not take the poet's illness seriously.

Thomas, Dylan: Quite Early One Morning: Stories (€ 17,00) ISBN/EAN: 9780811202084 (Language: englisch) In England and America Dylan Thomas made his art and personality widely known through public readings, radio broadcasts and recordings.

They are alive with his verbal magic, his intense perception of life, his gargantuan humor and with the very ring of his voice. Included in this collection of prose pieces are such favorites as the hilarious A Visit to America, the account of a small boy's marvelous day's outing-- A Story, and the memorable A Child's Christmas in Wales which has been called 'the twentieth century Christmas Carol.'

Who is the mysterious Rebecca swathed in wide black skirts with a shawl drawn over his mouth and his eyes flashing from beneath the brim of his tall black hat as he exhorts his daughters to tear down the hated tollgates imposed by the gentry's Turnpike Trust? And where does the foppish Anthony Raine--just returned from a tour in India with the despised British army--stand? And how is the lovely Rhiannon to choose between them? This reissue of Thomas's delightful tale of derring-do has been illustrated with charm and verve by the celebrated wood engraver and graphic artist Fritz Eichenberg.

Wardi, Eynel: Once Below a Time: Dylan Thomas, Julia Kristeva, and Other Speaking Subjects (€ 35,00) ISBN/EAN: 9780791445600 (Language: englisch) Highly original and theoretically wide-ranging, this book offers new insights into the origins of poetry. Working with much of the significant primary and secondary literature in psychoanalysis, particularly the theories of Julia Kristeva, the book skillfully sketches out a psychoanalytically enhanced theory of poetics through close readings of the works of Dylan Thomas. Through an intense dialogue with pivotal poems, it offers a subjectivist theory of poetic language, one that focuses on the interrelation between meaning and subjectivity in the dynamics of the poetic text. In this scheme, the genesis of the speaking subject is held to be a reenactment of old and new fantasies of origins, the reality of which is inaccessible to us -- buried, as it were, below time . Among these fantasies, the author also recognizes the psychoanalytic fantasy of origins that guides her own project.

Mansfield, Katherine: Alles, was ich schreibe - alles, was ich bin.Texte einer Unbeugsamen. (€ 22,00) Marix Verlag, ISBN/EAN: 9783737412018 (Language: deutsch) She is regarded as the innovator of the short story and was the only writer whose style was the envy of Virginia Woolf. She uncompromisingly insists on truthfulness in her writing, defying conventions in order to fulfil her own demands. In addition to precision and musicality, Katherine Mansfield brings a new tone to literature, new perspectives - the people in her stories are more important to her than the plot - a humour that is underestimated by many and sensuality in abundance. Her psychologically motivated texts, which are often autobiographical in nature, depict everyday events and seemingly trivial matters, but always focus on a decisive moment of realisation for her characters. Ingrid Mylo has made a selection from her oeuvre of 88 short stories, scattered poems, diaries, letters and reviews, linking the fascinating aspects of Katherine Mansfield´s personality with her work in a special way. The New Zealand-British writer Katherine Mansfield (1888-1923), who died far too young, is today considered a master of the short story on a par with James Joyce, Virginia Woolf and Anton Chekhov. Her short bohemian life was characterised by travel, illness, love affairs with men and women and a very illustrious circle of acquaintances around Virginia Woolf, Bertrand Russell and D. H. Lawrence. She saw herself second as a woman, first as a writer.

The internationally renowned author´s subsequent novels and stories are also available in German, including: Eine Geschichte mit blassen Augen, Featherstone (Berlin Verlag), Der Junge und das Meer (mare Verlag). A moving tribute to the great Katherine Mansfield After an absence of thirty years, a research grant takes Kirsty Gunn back to her home town of Wellington in New Zealand, the same place where Katherine Mansfield grew up. The city, much more than just a setting for both of them, turns out to be a focal point for memories, characterisations and backdrops. Along the way, Gunn explores the ideas of home and belonging and the profound influence of Mansfield on her own creative journey. A search for clues, an image of home and a process of realisation in equal measure - a sparkling study of freedom, familiarity, love and loneliness.

Mansfield, Katherine: In einer deutschen Pension (€ 19,80) Hofenberg, ISBN/EAN: 9783743743939 (Language: deutsch) Katherine Mansfield: In a German boarding house On 9 June 1909, a young woman moves into a room at the Hotel Kreuzer in Wörishofen - the name Käthe Beauchamp-Bowden is only used from 1920 onwards - under the name Käthe Beauchamp-Bowden . At the age of 20, she was not of legal age according to the law at the time. The self-confident New Zealander listed her profession as writer , even though not a single line of her work had been published up to this point. It cannot be said that Käthe´s life is running smoothly. Separated from her great love Maata Mahupuku, a Maori princess whom she met and fell in love with at school in Wellington, she becomes pregnant in London by the son of her cello teacher. She marries somewhat hastily, but not the father of the child, but a singing teacher, from whom she separates on the wedding night. Her mother then travels from New Zealand, hides the five-month pregnant minor in the darkest Bavaria and disinherits the wayward daughter. One month later, Käthe suffers a miscarriage. When she returns to England at the end of December 1909 after a stay of just under six months, she has a small collection of stories in her luggage that the literary world will soon recognise as trend-setting and genre-defining. Her short humour pieces mercilessly expose the real issues, throwing precise spotlights on violence in marriage and free love, on provincialism and self-indulgence. From February 1910, they appeared in the influential magazine New Age , alongside texts by Bernhard Shaw, H.G. Wells and G.K. Chesterton. The first book edition followed in 1911 under the title In a German Pension , which established the worldwide fame of the unconventional young woman who would henceforth appear under the name Katherine Mansfield. In a German Pension , first printed in 1911. Table of contents: Introduction. Germans at the meat. The Baron. The Baroness´s sister. Mrs Fischer. Mrs Brechenmacher attends a wedding party. The modern soul. At Lehmann´s. The air bath. A birthday. The child who was tired. The progressive lady. The swinging of the pendulum. An explosion. New edition. Edited by Karl-Maria Guth.

Mansfield, Katherine: In einer deutschen Pension.Lesung mit Nina Hoss (1 mp3-CD). Laufzeit ca. 1 Stunde 14 Minuten. (€ 15,00) Der Audio Verlag, ISBN/EAN: 9783742429667 (Language: deutsch) At the age of twenty, Katherine Mansfield leaves her home in New Zealand to become a writer in London. But first she ends up pregnant in a boarding house in a Bavarian spa town. There, she is able to fulfil her literary talent for observation, especially when she meets people who shed the tight corset of social constraints during their cure. The result is razor-sharp and very amusing stories. They use seemingly banalities to illustrate deeply rooted patterns of behaviour, prejudices and clichés in the early 20th century. Nina Hoss lends her voice to the pioneer of the modern short story. Reading with Nina Hoss

Mansfield, Katherine: Letters Between Katherine Mansfield and John Middleton Murray (€ 22,50) New Amsterdam Books, ISBN/EAN: 9780941533768 (Language: englisch) The New Zealand-born writer Mansfield (1888-1923) and her husband, Murry, the English editor and literary critic, exchanged hundreds of passionate, probing letters during their tempestuous 11-year relationship. Their correspondence reveals Mansfield´s fiercely independent spirit, as well as her intense need for undertanding from Murry from the time she met him at the home of a friend in London in 1912 until a few days before her death from tuberculosis in 1923.
Mansfield, Katherine: Katherine Mansfield Notebooks: Complete Edition (€ 28,00) UNIV OF MINNESOTA PR, ISBN/EAN: 9780816642366 (Language: englisch) Katherine Mansfield (1888-1923) published three collections of short stories -- In a German Pension, Bliss, and The Garden Party -- during her tragically short life, and was acclaimed as one of modernism´s most daring and original writers. After her death from tuberculosis in France, Mansfield´s private writings and letters were edited by her husband, John Middleton Murry, and published in four volumes between 1927 and 1954. Murry, however, took liberties in recasting his wife´s journals and notes. He excluded most of the vast mass of material and revised much of what he included, resulting in a distorted image of Mansfield as a passive, ethereal spirit. More than four decades later, the real Mansfield finally emerges in The Katherine Mansfield Notebooks, the first unexpurgated edition of her private writings. Fully and accurately transcribed by editor Margaret Scott, these infrequent diary entries, drafts of letters, introspective notes jotted on scraps of paper, unfinished stories, half-plotted novels, poems, recipes, and shopping lists offer a complete and compelling portrait of a complex woman who was ambitious and at times ruthless, neurotic and sexually voracious, witty and acerbic, fascinated with the minutiae of daily life and obsessed with death.

Mansfield, Katherine: The Collected Stories of Katherine Mansfield (€ 11,99) Penguin, ISBN/EAN: 9780141904856 (Language: englisch) WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY ALI SMITH Katherine Mansfield´s clear, sparkling and perceptive short stories revolutionized the genre, and this collection represents the whole range of her writing. Moving, resonant, full of light and colour, they range from short sharp studies to longer, richer tales, encompassing her three major volumes Bliss, The Garden Party and In a German Pension, and fifteen tantalizing fragments of unfinished stories published after her tragic death, including ´Honesty´, an intriguing tale of two bachelors, and ´The Doves´ Nest´, an exquisite story of a widowed mother and her daughter in the Riviera who receive a mysterious gentleman caller. Graceful, delicate and quietly devastating, they observe apparently trivial incidents to create sensitive, often painful revelations of her characters´ inner lives.

Seifert, Nicole: Von Tagebüchern und Trugbildern (2022) Kulturverlag Kadmos, ISBN/EAN: 9783865995025 (Language: deutsch) Nicole Seifert ist gelernte Verlagsbuchhändlerin und promovierte Literaturwissenschaftlerin. Sie lebt in Hamburg und arbeitet als Autorin, Übersetzerin und Literaturkritikerin. Ihr Literaturblog nachtundtag.blog wurde 2019 vom Börsenverein des Deutschen Buchhandels als bester Buchblog ausgezeichnet. Zuletzt erschien bei Kiepenheuer & Witsch ihr Buch FRAUEN LITERATUR, Abgewertet, vergessen, wiederentdeckt. Die Tagebücher von Katherine Mansfield, Virginia Woolf und Sylvia Plath wurden nach dem Tod ihrer Autorinnen von den Ehemännern der Frauen herausgegeben. John M. Murry, Leonard Woolf und Ted Hughes wählten Einträge für die Veröffentlichung aus und strichen andere, kürzten innerhalb der Einträge, schrieben um und ergänzten, wo sie es für notwendig hielten. Durch diese Eingriffe sowie durch ihre Kommentare und Vorworte lenkten sie die Lektüre von vornherein in eine bestimmte Richtung und trugen maßgeblich zu den Legenden bei, die sich schon bald um die Personen von Mansfield, Woolf und Plath ranken sollten. Nicole Seifert legt die Vorgehensweisen der Herausgeber offen und stellt den Bildern, die die zensierten Ausgaben von ihren Autorinnen entwerfen, die Bilder gegenüber, die die vollständigen Tagebuchtexte abgeben. Parallel dazu geht sie der Frage nach, welche Aussagekraft Tagebücher überhaupt haben können: Tagebücher gelten als Lebenszeugnisse, als besonders authentische, unmittelbare Texte, die besonders nah am gelebten Leben sind. Aber Tagebuchschreiben ist zuallererst eine Praxis, die Niederschrift kann für den Diaristen also durchaus größere Bedeutung haben als der dabei entstehende Text als solcher - ein Umstand, der eher gegen die dokumentarische Aussagekraft des Tagebuchs spricht. In diesem Buch wird gefragt, wie sich Tagebücher vor diesem Hintergrund lesen lassen und was sich anhand eines Tagebuchs überhaupt über seinen Autor oder seine Autorin sagen lässt.
