Infos

Looking at the work of eight key Anglophone Welsh writers, this book argues that Welsh writing in English in the period 1930–49 saw the emergence of a distinct Welsh Modernism that now challenges conventional literary histories and, in more than one sense, takes Modernism and Modernist studies into new territories.

Autor

This book will appeal not only to undergraduates, post-graduates and academic researchers but also those with an interest in Welsh literature and culture, Welsh history, Modernism, art and the early twentieth century.
