Abstract

D.M. Thomas (Cornwall, 1935) is a special case: a writer who was sooner immerse in a private poetic world, and who later tries the broader and more public scope of the narrative. However, none of these spaces is compartmentalized by this author, unstable and capricious, psychically submitted to his fixations; one who builds fiction as a universe of the senses where passions surge from the subconsciousness. Physical and mental scapes are recreated, both in his poems and in his novels, from a peculiar viewpoint whose vis poietica will be analysed in detail throughout this essay.
