Synopsis

This book is an examination of the representation of the Welsh in English literature, spanning over a half-millennium and through a range of genres. The author explores the stereotypes and biases inherent in the portrayal of the Welsh in English texts, from the medieval period through the twentieth century. The author considers how these depictions both reflect and shape wider historical and cultural attitudes towards the Welsh and their place within Britain. By tracing the representation of the Welsh in literature, the book sheds light on the complex and evolving relationship between Wales and England, and challenges readers to reflect on the power and significance of representation.
