The Brexit debates confirmed how Wales's relationship to Europe has
for too long been discussed exclusively, narrowly and suffocatingly
in terms of its social, political and economic aspects. As a
contrast, this volume sets out to explore the rich, inventive and
exhilarating spectrum of pro-European sentiment evident from 1848
to 1980 in the writings of Welsh intellectuals and creative
writers. It ranges from the era of O. M. Edwards, through the
interwar period when both right wing (Saunders Lewis) and left wing
(Cyril Cule) ideologies clashed, to the post-war age when major
writers such as Emyr Humphreys and Raymond Williams became
influential. This study clearly demonstrates that far from being
insular and parochial, Welsh culture has long been hospitably
internationalist. As the very title Eutopia concedes, there have of
course been frequently utopian aspects to Wales's dreams of Europe.
However, while some may choose to dismiss them as examples of mere
wishful thinking, others may fruitfully appreciate their
aspirational and inspirational aspects.
