Opis

"Eighteenth-Century Writing from Wales" examines Welsh writing in English in the context of recent critical debates concerning the rise of cultural nationalism and the invention of Great Britain as a nation in the eighteenth century. This volume represents the first study of Welsh literature in English alongside this literary negotiation of Britishness, and the group of texts discussed provides an important contribution to the ways in which Anglophone literature from and about Wales imagined the nation and its culture in a range of genres including poetry, fiction, and religious writing."
