This area of the website is an educational resource with a multi-tiered approach:

  • Please see: Dylan Thomas section/ Children's Activities area for children aged between 6-11: featuring a learning activities pack - biography / activities / colouring-in as a downloadable pdf pack.
  • Schools Teacher's Packs: provides specially prepared packs from 2 Carmarthenshire teachers Claire Argyle and Elaine Edwards with pdf files for conversion into Eng Lit PowerPoint presentations on some of Thomas’s key works for Key Stages 3 & 4. Also included in this section will be a downloadable schools video project <please add details from the video>.
  • 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 Thomas’s life from 1914 and beyond to 1960.

  • 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 materiality of Thomas's works. A future development will be to 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 publishing/ or re-publishing the essays are to show the new discourses and research currently being engaged with Dylan Thomas, and will hopefully be of interest to both academics and non-academic readers of the website.]
