Writing Wales explores representations of Wales in English and
Welsh literatures written across a broad sweep of history, from the
union of Wales with England in 1536 to the beginnings of its
industrialization at the turn of the nineteenth century. The
collection offers a timely contribution to the current
devolutionary energies that are transforming the study of British
literatures today, and it builds on recent work on Wales in
Renaissance, eighteenth-century, and Romantic literary studies.
What is unique about Writing Wales is that it cuts across these
period divisions to enable readers for the first time to chart the
development of literary treatments of Wales across three of the
most tumultuous centuries in the history of British
state-formation. Writing Wales explores how these period divisions
have helped shape scholarly treatments of Wales, and it asks if we
should continue to reinforce such period divisions, or else
reconfigure our approach to Wales' literary past. The essays
collected here reflect the full 300-year time span of the volume
and explore writers canonical and non-canonical alike: George
Peele, Michael Drayton, Henry Vaughan, Katherine Philips, and John
Dyer here feature alongside other lesser-known authors. The
collection showcases the wide variety of literary representations
of Wales, and it explores relationships between the perception of
Wales in literature and the realities of its role on the British
political stage.
