Now entering its second decade of publication, "Welsh Writing in
English: A Yearbook of Critical Essays" is the only academic
journal devoted solely to the critical study of the
English-language literature of Wales. The "Yearbook" seeks to cover
the whole chronological sweep of Welsh writing in English, and
essays published to date include papers ranging from discussion of
the earliest Welsh literature written in English--Ieuan ab Hywel
Swrdwal in the fifteenth century--to contemporary writers like
Gillian Clarke, Niall Griffiths and Christopher Meredith. Emphasis
is, though, on the writing of the twentieth century and we have
published important new essays on such major figures as Dylan
Thomas, Glyn Jones, Vernon Watkins, Alun Lewis and R.S.
Thomas.
The "Yearbook" consists of new (peer-reviewed) essays by critics in
universities in Wales and the U.K. as a whole, as well as America
and beyond, and, while the ultimate criterion is always quality,
the journal seeks to publish work both by established scholars in
the field and by young researchers publishing the results of recent
new work. As well as some eight full-length articles in each
volume, the journal also publishes shorter factual pieces--new
discoveries, new manuscripts, etc.--in a "Notes" section, while the
occasional "Forum" section seeks to stimulate lively critical
debate arising from published papers. Each issue also contains an
annual bibliography of new critical material which has appeared
during the previous year.
In its ten years of publication the "Yearbook" has become a
benchmark for discussion of Wales's English-language literature, as
well as for the exploration of the links between the two
literatures ofWales. A number of the essays first published in the
"Yearbook" are already widely cited as key discussions of their
subject and a number have been reprinted.
The "Yearbook" is a journal which aims to be lively, original,
challenging, controversial and to be appeal not just to specialists
but to be accessible to the interested general reader.
