Reviews
'This authoritative introductory volume condenses fifteen hundred years of rich literary achievement - from Aneurin and the Dylan of the Mabinogion, to the Dylan of the twentieth century - into a couple of hundred highly readable pages. It opens a window for us on to one of Europe's best-kept cultural secrets.' - Professor M. Wynn Thomas, Swansea University; 'A model of its kind, Dafydd Johnston's compact yet extraordinarily comprehensive and highly readable Literature of Wales has, since 1994, introduced a generation of students and general readers to Wales's rich literary history in both of its languages. Now, with this revised edition, the author brings the work up to date with two admirably concise yet detailed chapters on contemporary post-devolution Welsh writing.' - Professor Jane Aaron, University of South Wales
