Edward Pugh (1763-1813) was a Ruthin-born, Welsh-speaking artist
and writer who produced compelling landscapes images of
Denbighshire in particular and, more widely of North Wales,
Monmouthshire and London. He also wrote what is probably the best
account of a tour in Wales ever written: it is far superior to
Borrow's. This book, the first to consider Pugh's work in detail,
shows how his landscapes reveal a wealth of local knowledge, and
dramatise some issues of great importance to Wales in his time: the
effects of the enclosure of common land; the effects of the war
with France on industry and the condition of the poor; the need to
develop and modernise the Welsh economy; the power of the great
landowners. Apart from Pugh's, almost all the pictures and tours we
have of late eighteenth and early nineteenth century North Wales
were made by English artists and writers. None of these can tell us
about life in North Wales with the same insight as Pugh.
