Welsh Gothic, the first study of its kind, introduces readers to
the array of Welsh Gothic literature published from 1780 to the
present day. Informed by postcolonial and psychoanalytic theory, it
argues that many of the fears encoded in Welsh Gothic writing are
specific to the history of Welsh people, telling us much about the
changing ways in which Welsh people have historically seen
themselves and been perceived by others. The first part of the book
explores Welsh Gothic writing from its beginnings in the last
decades of the eighteenth century to 1997. The second part focuses
on figures specific to the Welsh Gothic genre who enter literature
from folk lore and local superstition, such as the sin-eater, cwn
Annwn (hellhounds), dark druids and Welsh witches. Contents
