Book Synopsis

An edited collection of essays, interviews, and book reviews by M. Wynn Thomas. For more than half a century, M. Wynn Thomas has been Wales's foremost literary critic. His ground-breaking work - on subjects ranging from Welsh Puritanism to Walt Whitman, from religious Dissent to contemporary poetry - has opened up new vistas and literary correspondences for his readers. Thomas's writings combine a deep historical knowledge, a commitment to pluralism and a relationship to the literary text that is both sympathetic in approach and detailed in analysis. Made up of previously unpublished and uncollected essays, interviews, and reviews on Welsh and American writers, the writings in Transatlantic Vistas engage with some of the abiding interests of Thomas's career: Walt Whitman, Dylan Thomas, R. S. Thomas, and American authors such as Charles Bukowski, Rita Dove, Anne Stevenson and more. Including a foreword by Helen Vendler and essays by Daniel G. Williams and Kirsti Bohata, this volume celebrates M. Wynn Thomas's immense contribution as a literary and intellectual historian, critic, translator, lecturer, institution builder, editor, broadcaster and literary executor as he enters his eightieth year.
