Imagining Wales cover

This volume deals with the 20th-century literature that is either Anglo-Welsh or that which relates to Wales. The argument of how writers "ground" themselves in their imagined Wales as a means of anchoring themselves against groundlessness in modern civilization, is also examined.

This book is a fine one. Its concerns are important and are given unusually full treatment by an independently-minded writer. Hooker offers countless passing insights, and writes gently and lucidly. He brings a generous respect to his writers while not failing to raise awkward questions. -New Welsh Review 'This book will intrigue and enlighten readers, and is an important addition to the examination of Welsh writing in English.' * PQR *
