Description

This is the latest volume in the "Writers of Wales" series. Poet and critic, Raymond Garlick has made an important contribution to the study of Anglo-Welsh literature. Born in London, he read English at the University of North Wales, Bangor where he began to acquire a knowledge of Welsh. He was a founder and editor of the "Anglo-Welsh Review" and has argued in numerous essays that from the 15th century there was a tradition of writing by Welshmen in the English language which deserves wide recognition. He has a nationalistic view of Wales, his adopted country, and a preoccupation with language, especially with English as one of the languages of a fully bilingual Wales.
