Riassunto

Featuring new research by established and emerging critics in the field, this stimulating academic journal aims to engage in a lively and informed way with both the Welsh literary past and with contemporary writing. This edition includes two incisive and innovative essays on the towering figure in modern Anglophone Welsh poetry, R. S. Thomas, that relate his work to that of W. B. Yeats and to prominent Irish themes. It also offers important new critical evaluations of unfairly neglected literary figures, such as Hilda Vaughan, William Emrys Williams, Nigel Heseltine, and the science fiction of the Welsh-language writer Islwyn Ffowc Elis. Also included is an indispensable annual bibliography of criticism in the field, continuing a longstanding tradition of providing readers with a range of thought-provoking and illuminating material.
