He 'plagiarised' poems as schoolboy
DYLAN Thomas repeatedly plagiarised the work of others while he was a schoolboy, new research has claimed.
The Welsh poet is said to have attached his name to “audacious ripoffs” in his youth, according to a study by Alessandro Gallenzi, a publisher and Italian translator.
Gallenzi, who describes himself as a “lifelong admirer of Thomas and his poetry’, claims to have identified at least a dozen examples of plagiarised poems in research published in the Times Literary Supplement (TLS).
