- Thomas in Context:
A Further Education Area with a section for A & AS level students
looking at Thomas in the context of English literature during
the 1930's/1940's/early 1950's with responses to Thomas after
his death from the shifts in fashion and critiques from members
of the Movement poets in the late 50's/early 60's. This is also
an area written for general readers to enjoy too! On the Thomas
in Context page is a specially compiled Timeline pdf document
by Dr John Goodby which chronologically lists events political,
social and cultural around the context of Dylan Thomass
life from 1914 and beyond to 1960.

accredited modules from Trinity College, Carmarthen and UCW, Swansea
on courses for studying Dylan Thomas and mid-C20th English literature.
- Essays & Academic
Papers (currently in development): This area is a higher education
area which will include essays and academic papers on new Dylan
Thomas research. Of particular interested are correlations being
made by new researches and new critical approaches into the textual

include the Dylan Thomas Conference Papers from 2000 onwards.
[Each essay will be published on the website in this section area
& formatted into an e-book styled pdf file available as a
non-editable/read/print-only file for resource; the object of
