Download or read book The Bard is a Very Singular Character written by Ffion Mair Jones and published by University of Wales Press. This book was released on 2010-06-14 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A cunning and successful literary forger, Iolo Morganwg has been a controversial figure within Welsh literary tradition and history ever since his death in 1826. During his lifetime, however, he was largely a figure on the margins of Welsh literary society, who found the task of getting his work into the coveted sphere of print culture a gargantuan one. This book examines how he dealt with the frustrations of his marginality – writing sardonic remarks in the margins of books published by his contemporaries, and submerging himself in a mound of scrap paper on which he wrote numerous drafts of poems and conducted original work on the Welsh language.

Download or read book Hope and Heartbreak written by Russell Davies and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 586 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Hope and Heartbreak looks in an entirely new way at the social history of Wales between the years 1776 and 1871. This innovative book challenges a large number of generally held views about Wales, and tries to offer an alternative history of the country's idiosyncrasies and contradictions. To do this a wide range of evidence is considered to present the ambitions and anxieties which drove and destroyed Welsh people." "Russell Davies's study ranges far and wide, from landlords to peasants, rich and poor, in the north and the south. Diet and housing, disease and death, rural festivals, prisons and mental hospitals, work and worries, fear and anger, love and lust, wizards and wonders, bastards and ballads and happiness and humour are only a few of the topics covered in this all-encompassing social history. The tensions beneath the facade of family life, the vigour of prostitution and pornography and the private world of the individual are investigated. Using the life experiences of individuals, Hope and Heartbreak opens up the hidden world of the people of Wales." "The book asks a range of questions which are new to Welsh history. Was Wales a land of passionless women and pure men, or were there passionate sensualists amongst the pious saints? What made the Welsh fearful, tearful, happy, lonely, self-conscious, anxious, bored, hysterical and violent? How did they behave as capitalists, colonists and conquerors? How can one make sense of their religious doubts and disputes? Did religion lead to a decline in magic? There is also a detailed examination of the joie de vivre, the forgotten humour and the unique flavour of Welsh laughter."--BOOK JACKET.
