Sylvia Plath & Dylan Thomas
Advertisement
As an undergraduate at Smith College, Sylvia Plath called Dylan Thomas her ‘favorite modern poet’ (Letters v.1, 709). Plath studied Thomas in college, heard him read in 1953, and later taught his poems as a first-year English instructor at Smith in 1958. By examining marginalia in Plath’s personal library and her notes for teaching Thomas’s poetry, this talk will offer new insights into Thomas’s influence on her poetry.
Following Dr Golden’s presentation, she and Dr Siân Round, a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow in the School of Culture and Communication, Swansea University, will discuss Plath and Thomas, particularly in light of the publication of The Poems of Sylvia Plath (Faber, May 2026), co-edited by Golden and Karen V. Kukil.
