Summary

Looking at the work of eight key Anglophone Welsh writers, this book argues that Welsh writing in English in the period 1930–49 saw the emergence of a distinct Welsh Modernism that now challenges conventional literary histories and, in more than one sense, takes Modernism and Modernist studies into new territories.

New Territories in Modernism by Laura Wainwright

Until very recently, Welsh literary Modernism has been critically neglected, both within and outside Wales. This is the first book devoted solely to the study of Welsh literary Modernism, revealing and examining eight key Anglophone Welsh writers. Laura Wainwright demonstrates how their linguistic experimentation constituted an engagement with the unprecedented linguistic, social and cultural changes that were the making of modern Wales, and formed the crucible for the emergence of a distinct Welsh Modernism. This study of Welsh Modernism challenges conventional literary histories and, in more than one sense, takes Modernism and Modernist studies into new territories.
