Description
Book SynopsisThis volume deals with the 20th-century literature that is either Anglo-Welsh or that which relates to Wales. The argument of how writers "ground" themselves in their imagined Wales as a means of anchoring themselves against groundlessness in modern civilization, is also examined.
Trade Review"This book is a fine one. Its concerns are important and are given unusually full treatment by an independently-minded writer. Hooker offers countless passing insights, and writes gently and lucidly. He brings a generous respect to his writers while not failing to raise awkward questions." -New Welsh Review 'This book will intrigue and enlighten readers, and is an important addition to the examination of Welsh writing in English.' PQR 'He writes valuably and interestingly about novelists and poets as diverse as Emyr Humphreys, Gillian Clarke and John Cowper Powys...Imagining Wales offers a grounding in literary critical debate about Welsh writing.'
