Welsh Writing, Political Action and Incarceration examines the
prison literature of certain iconic Welsh authors whose political
lives and creative writings are linked to ideas about Wales and the
Welsh language. Through this case study, the author interrogates
the nature of political activism and social movements, including
the use of violence and non-violent approaches to protest. Also
examined are the function and significance of variations in
literary form, style and language in this prison literature along
with the motivations driving each of these prison authors and the
effects of their texts on their readers - their community outside
of prison, and upon society more widely. This work successfully
challenges orthodox perspectives on this body of prison literature.
In adopting a case study approach the author universalizes the
Welsh experience, drawing insights from international research on
prison literature, the political science of protest and the
sociology of language.
