Rhys Davies (1901-1978) dedicated his life entirely to writing and
is now generally regarded as one of the most prolific and
accomplished of Welsh prose-writers in English. In addition to
writing over one hundred short stories, his many novels included
The Withered Root (1927), The Black Venus (1944) and The Perishable
Quality (1957). While he has long been thought of as a master of
the short story form, his novels are now considered to be among the
finest written by a Welsh writer in English and a critical
re-assessment of his career is long overdue. Rhys Davies: Decoding
the Hare contains essays on the major aspects of Rhys Davies's life
and work, from the literary, social and national contexts within
which he wrote to issues of gender, sexuality and race. Published
to mark the centenary of Rhys Davies's birth, Decoding the Hare is
the first substantial study of his work and will be essential
reading for all those interested in twentieth-century Welsh writing
in English and in this complex and elusive writer in particular.
