Description
Thomas (English, U. College, Swansea, Wales) focuses on Welsh literature written in English during the 20th century, to illustrate the divergent, and often clashing, views of modern Wales and Welsh identity. His comparisons put some strange fellows in the same bed: Alun Lewis and Alun Llywelyn-Willi
Reviews
"This is the first book I know to offer a reasoned view of why Anglo-Welsh literature is distinct, how it reflects a situation different from and possibly more complex than that of England, and how it is diverging more and more from the Welsh-language culture with which it once ran in harness." -Tony Conran, "Year's Work in English Studies"
