Twentieth-Century Women's Writing in Wales documents Welsh women's
writing in both Welsh and English in the twentieth century. It
identifies a distinctive female literary tradition in which Wales
is represented as a 'different country' by its modern women
writers; a country in which both Welshness and womanhood are
variously lived and performed. This volume is arranged
chronologically and deals with a wide range of literary genres,
including the short story; the novel; poetry; autobiography, travel
writing and drama. It affords long-overdue serious critical
attention to the works of early twentieth-century women writers -
from the comical short stories of Jane Ann Jones to the powerful
naturalist novels of Elena Puw Morgan and free-thinking 'New Woman'
Bertha Thomas - while also dealing with better-known literary
figures such as Kate Roberts and Gillian Clarke. This pioneering
study of twentieth-century writing by Welsh women provides a
much-needed alternative literary history to the stereotypical land
of male bards.
