Infos

Down the centuries, poets have provided Wales with a window onto its own distinctive world. This book gives a sense of the view seen through that special window in twelve illustrated poems, each bringing very different periods and aspects of the Welsh past into focus. Together, they give the flavour of a poetic tradition, both ancient and modern, in the Welsh language and in English, that is internationally renowned for its distinction and continuing vibrancy.

Autor

This collection will be of use to students, academics and the general reader who are interested in Welsh studies. It is very accessibly written, so will appeal to education/new curriculum market as it combines poetry with national, social and cultural history of Wales.
