An Anthology of Welsh Short Prose

by Meic Stephens (Translator)

As a fairly new phenomenon in Welsh literary tradition the essay only became a recognized literary form in the Welsh language in the 1920's due to the pioneering work of its first great exponent T.H. Parry Williams. Since then the essay has flourished in Welsh literature and this book gives the English reader access to this rich literary vein. In addition to the essay themselves, Meic Stephens also provides a brief biographical note on each writer and useful explanatory information on incidents of references mentioned in each essay.
