A comprehensive collection that includes over seventy Welsh-language and English-language writers, "Twentieth-Century Women s Writing in Wales" traces the history of Welsh women s writing over the past century. Covering forms as diverse as the novel, drama, travel writing, creative journalism, and contemporary poetry, this volume provides an important complement and corrective to current works of Welsh literary history that focus primarily on male authors, examining how Wales is conceived in literary works as a place in which both Welshness and womanhood can be lived and performed."

Kate Roberts (1891 1985) is unquestionably the most important woman writer to have emerged from Wales, but she remains little known outside the region. This volume tracks Roberts s life from her poverty-stricken childhood through her time as a teacher in the South Wales valleys and her novel-writing and later political work. It will serve as both an introduction to her work for readers who are unable to read it in the original Welsh, and as a valuable critical aid for Welsh students and pupils who encounter her work in courses and Welsh language and literature."
