Description

This text is part of the "Writers in Wales" series, which aims to present a comprehensive survey of the literatures of Wales. Each essay deals with the life and work of a Welsh or Anglo-Welsh writer and is written by a critic who is a recognized authority on his or her subject. A founder of "Dock Leaves" (later renamed "The Anglo-Welsh Review"), Roland Mathias edited the magazine between 1961 and 1976, a task which he combined with a career as an educationalist, poet and critic. This book examines his life and writing career, exploring the origins and depth of his commitment to peace, to moral principles and to a Welsh literature in the English language.
