Almanac: A Yearbook of Welsh Writing in English: 16

Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Featuring new research by established and emerging critics, this stimulating academic journal aims to engage in a lively and informed way with both the Welsh literary past and with contemporary writing. This issue roams from Ceredigion to Russia, from London to Merthyr, via Argentina and Llanybri and topics discussed include revolutionary poetry, the politics of translation, the forging of the canon of Welsh writing in English, and the peculiarities of Welsh Modernism. With essays written as early as the 17th century, this volume reflects the sheer range and diversity of Welsh writing in English and seeks to stimulate, provoke, and illuminate all readers interested in the literature of Wales.
