Abstract
The Map of Love, which was published in 1939, marks the beginning of that deepening and extension of poetic sympathy and personal vision that characterizes Thomas’s later work. Vernon Watkins has written of the poems in The Map of Love:
Each is an experience perceived and controlled by the religious sense and each answers its own questions. He [Thomas] has pared his imagery without losing any of its force.1
