The past due eighteenth century was once essentially the most fascinating and unsettling classes in ecu background, with the shock-waves of the French Revolution rippling around the globe. As this selection of essays by means of top students indicates, Wales used to be no exception. From political pamphlets to a Denbighshire folk-play, from bardic poetry to the remodelling of the Welsh panorama itself, responses to the innovative ferment of principles took many varieties. We see how Welsh poets and preachers negotiated advanced London–Wales networks of patronage or even extra advanced problems with nationwide and cultural loyalty; and the way the panorama itself is reimagined in fiction, remodelled à l. a. Rousseau, whereas it quickly emptied as impoverished farming households emigrated to the hot global. Drawing on a wealth of vivid fabric in either Welsh and English, a lot of it unpublished, this assortment marks one other very important contribution to ‘four countries’ feedback, and gives new insights into the tensions and flashpoints of Romantic-period Wales.
