All That Is Wales : The Collected Essays of M. Wynn Thomas Paperback / softback
by M. Wynn Thomas
Part of the Writing Wales in English series
Paperback / softback
Description
Wales may be small, but culturally it is richly varied.
The aim in this collection of essays on a number of English-language authors from Wales is to offer a sample of the country's internal diversity.
To that end, the author's examined range - from the exotic Lynette Roberts (Argentinean by birth, but of Welsh descent) and the English-born Peggy Ann Whistler who opted for new, Welsh identity as 'Margiad Evans', to Nigel Heseltine, whose bizarre stories of the antics of the decaying squierarchy of the Welsh border country remain largely unknown, and the Utah-based poet Leslie Norris, who brings out the bicultural character of Wales in his Welsh-English translations.
The result is a portrait of Wales as a 'micro-cosmopolitan country', and the volume is prefaced with an autobiographical essay by one of the leading specialists in the field, authoritatively tracing the steady growth over recent decades of serious, informed and sustained study of what is a major achievement of Welsh culture.
