A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

"Twentieth-Century Women's Writing in Wales: Land, Gender, Belonging" is a history of Welsh women's writing in both Welsh and English during the twentieth century. It identifies and analyses a distinctive female literary tradition and reveals that Wales is represented very much as 'a different country' by its modern women writers.The study rediscovers little-known authors from the earlier twentieth century, such as the humorous short story writer, Jane Ann Jones, the powerful Naturalist novelist, Elena Puw Morgan, and the free-thinking 'New Woman,' Bertha Thomas, and also gives sustained and serious attention to major figures such as Kate Roberts and Gillian Clarke. This pioneering study provides a much-needed alternative literary history to the stereotype of the land of the male bards. The author, Katie Gramich, is a Senior Lecturer in English Literature at Cardiff University; this book is the fruit of more than a decade's research into the neglected female literary tradition of Wales.
