Uncorrected galley proofs, [1965], of Constantine FitzGibbon's work, The life of Dylan Thomas (1965), containing some amendments in Ralph Maud's hand and typescript suggestions for alterations to the text; together with fourteen letters, 1963-1964, from the author to Glyn Jones, Daniel Jones and Mervyn Levy.
Four poems sent to Thomas Taig,
Four foolscap pages, [1939], containing typescript copies of the poems 'It is the sinners' dust-tongued bell', 'How shall my animal', 'The tombstone told when she died' and 'A saint about to fall' by Dylan Thomas; his signature is inscribed in ink beneath each poem, and the typed titles, 'Three', 'Nine', 'Ten' and 'Twelve' respectively, have been crossed out and replaced with the heading 'Poem'. These copies may have been produced in preparation for The map of love (London, 1939), and appear to have been sent by Dylan Thomas to Thomas Taig for a proposed 'dramatic presentation' of Anglo-Welsh poetry at a London theatre in September 1939. Also included is a photocopy and photograph, [1953x1990], of the first page of a letter from Dylan Thomas to Thomas Taig, 23 August 1939; together with photocopies of poems in his hand, typescript copies, and printed copies of poems, [1939x1990], intended for the production, by various authors, including Glyn Jones and Keidrych Rhys (one containing amendments by the author).
Papers, 1953-1990, of Glyn Jones, including four letters, 1953-1979, by him to various recipients, and one letter, 1958, to GJ from A. G. Prys-Jones, all of which relate to Dylan Thomas; together with a script, [1979], containing autograph corrections and additions, of a talk by GJ which appears to be an introduction to a performance of 'Under Milk Wood'; and photostat copies of seventeen letters, 1934-1953, to GJ from Dylan Thomas, with typescript copies of the same annotated by GJ and Ralph Maud. Also included is a manuscript draft of a series of five articles by GJ about Dylan Thomas published in The Western Mail, 1958; a postcard, 1958, from Richard Evans praising the articles; a scrapbook belonging to GJ containing articles and papers, 1953-1986, mostly relating to Dylan and Caitlin Thomas; additional notes and drafts of talks, [1954x1970], by GJ about Dylan Thomas; and papers relating to the Dylan Thomas summer schools at Swansea (1974) and Aberystwyth (1990) attended by GJ.
First draft, 1982, of the post-production script of the BBC Wales film about Dylan Thomas, 'I sing to you strangers', produced by John Ormond, and annotated by him; this copy was presented by JO to Glyn Jones, a participant in the programme, and his wife Doreen. Also included is a cutting, 1983, relating to the film.
