Mayer links Thomas's prose works to his poetry through the blending of lyric and narrative strategies. As well, she examines Thomas's self-conscious concerns about his relationship to his modernist contemporaries. Mayer goes beyond the traditional New Critical approaches that dominate Thomas scholarship and uses contemporary critical theory to offer new insights into the complexity and ambiguity of a major twentieth-century writer. 606 $aArt and literature$zWales$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aArtists in literature 615 0$aArt and literature$xHistory 615 0$aArtists in literature. 676 $a828/.91208 700 $aMayer$b Ann Elizabeth$f1960-$01721592 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910825191203321 996 $aArtists in Dylan Thomas's prose works$94121318 997 $aUNINA
