The Welsh Boy, a lusty tale of youthful passion, is a scintillating
rediscovery of one of the hidden gems of eighteenth-century
literature bringing back to life a true story of passionate love
and outrageous sexual scandal. Jem Parry is blessed with a
wonderful singing voice that has allowed him to escape his humble
origins in South Wales. Mary Powell is the richest heiress in the
district - also its loveliest, and its most daring. When Mary
engages Jem as her music master their lessons at the spinet turn
into tutorials in the most heavenly pleasures. But love is one
thing, sex another and marriage yet a third. The Welsh Boy is Based
on The True Anti-Pamela, the personal diaries of James Parry which
he had published as an act of revenge against his former lover Mary
Powell. He saw their torrid affair as a direct inversion of Samuel
Richardson's contemporary best-seller, Pamela, Or Virtue Rewarded,
with himself in the role of lowly-born innocent and his lover the
aristocratic villain of the piece.
