Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Cambrian Tales appeared in serialized form in Ainsworth's Magazine from March 1849 to March 1850 and has not previously been published as a novel. Like the political pamphlet Artegall, also included in this volume, it constitutes part of Jane Williams' attempts to defend Wales against the notorious 'Blue Books', the 1847 government report which damned the Welsh as ignorant, immoral and barbaric. A comedy of manners, set in and around a Welsh country house, it features characters clearly modelled on Ysgafell's patron, Lady Llanover, and her social circle. Also included are two representative poems, one from Celtic Fables (1862), a feminist reworking of ancient legend, and the previously unpublished 'A Petition' in which a night-cap maker protests against her dire exploitation. Ysgafell's social conscience, her patriotism and her sardonic humour are evident throughout the volume.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. The young lovers Gertrude Fitzhammons and Anarawd Gwynne are caught between their fathers' mutual antagonism. Eventually, Gertrudes' adoptive father, the retired sea captain Ricardo Lewis, is forced to flee Britain due to the machinations of old squire Gwynne and Lewis's mortal enemy, Lord Morlif. At the same time, Anarawd is sent abroad in the hope that he forgets his sweetheart. After several years apart, their separate fates lead them to meet again in Naples during the spring revolutions of 1848. After Lewis's betrayal to his death on the republican barricades, a broken-hearted Gertrude returns to her Welsh home. Will Anarawd follow her or seek his fortune abroad in the British Army? Loosely inspired by social and agricultural advancements in the district around the author's home in Porthmadog, Country Landlords (1860) looks at the relationship between the landed gentry and ordinary country population in the early nineteenth-century. The first republication of this novel since 1860, following on from the successful Honno republication of Spooners first novel, Gladys of Harlech in 2017. An example of mid-century novels by female authors from Wales dealing with contemporary issues, such as land improvement, nationalism and empire.
