The History of Wales in Twelve Poems
Autor M. Wynn Thomas Ilustrat de Ruth Jên Evansen Limba Engleză Hardback – 23 dec 2021
Throughout the centuries, poets have provided Wales with a window into its own distinctive world. This book aims to give general readers a sense of the view to be seen through that special window. Poetry played a crucial part in sustaining a sense of Welsh identity from the seventh century until today. This study views the history of Wales through the lens of twelve poems that span almost fifteen hundred years. The featured poems bring different periods and aspects of the Welsh past into focus while providing some flavor of a poetic tradition, both ancient and modern, that is internationally renowned for its distinction.

Recenzii
"I can think of no more deft and authoritative introduction to the literatures of Wales than this gem of a book … tracing a path through the riches of the tradition with flair, clarity, and wit. This is a must-have guide for the curious and those new to the poetic panorama of Wales through the centuries."
"With style, energy, and sureness of touch . . . we are guided through the complex story of Welsh identity from Maelgwn Gwynedd to Mark Drakeford, weaving political and cultural themes together in a vivid tapestry. There are very few pages that do not offer fresh insights, even for those who know their Welsh history well. The poems chosen are an excellent mix of the expected and the unexpected."
