Synopsis
A powerful alternative history of 20th-century South Wales, this book from a highly respected cultural historian enters new territory. Bypassing the linear model of history, it mixes events randomly—like mosaic pieces—and invites the mind to wander. As a result, the book becomes many things: an autobiography, a collective biography, an opportunity for conjecture, and a fond salute to many Welsh writers and painters, boxers and historians, friends and relatives, critics and correspondents, rioters and photographers.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. From Rhondda heroes chasing the American dream to rioters staking a claim in their society In the Frame is a powerful alternative history of twentieth-century South Wales, offered from the personal viewpoint of cultural historian Dai Smith. It takes the reader into a territory - a mythical and veritable Dai Country - formed by the influence of writers and painters, boxers and historians, friends and relatives, rioters and correspondents, critics and photographers. As well as the autobiographical overtones of a Tondypandy childhood and distinguished career, In the Frame contains the far wider undertones of a collective biography. Its mosaic pieces together the consciousness of a society which led its inhabitants in search of fame and fortune as well as the daily struggle for rights and recognition without sympathy or sentimentality. An alternative history of twentieth century Wales by TV presenter and the nation's leading cultural historian Dai Smith. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR002301730
