Bøker av Geraint H. Jenkins

A readable volume covering the humour of three of Ceredigion''s leading writers: Moc Rogers, Tegwyn Jones and Hywel Teifi Edwards.

Based on historical research and debates about Wales and Welshness, this volume offers an authoritative and accessible account of the period from Neanderthal times to the opening of the Senedd, the home of the National Assembly for Wales, in 2006. Within a remarkably brief and stimulating compass, Geraint H. Jenkins explores the emergence of Wales as a nation, its changing identities and values, and the transformations its people experienced and survived throughout the centuries. In the face of seemingly overwhelming odds, the Welsh never reconciled themselves to political, social and cultural subordination, and developed ingenious ways of maintaining a distinctive sense of their otherness. The book ends with the coming of political devolution and the emergence of a greater measure of cultural pluralism. Professor Jenkins's lavishly illustrated volume provides enthralling material for scholars, students, general readers, and travellers to Wales.

Dyma'r cofiant cynhwysfawr cyntaf i'r 'Cymro mwyaf diddorol a fagwyd erioed yng Nghymru' - y digymar Iolo Morganwg. Mae'r cofiant yn olrhain ei fywyd rhyfeddol o ddiddorol gan amlygu'i gyfraniad enfawr i fywyd y genedl. -- Y Lolfa

Better known by the bardic name of Iolo Morganwg, Edward Williams was one of history's great fantasists. The legacy he left behind was a cottage filled to the ceiling with manuscripts. This volume provides a re-evaluation of the diverse interests of Iolo Morganwg and the extent to which his ideas and writings shaped the Welsh cultural tradition.

By dint of intellectual brilliance, far-sighted vision and exceptional personal charm, Sir Glanmor Williams achieved great eminence in the field of Welsh historical studies. This book seeks to draw out the religious, political, economic, social and educational threads in his work within a local, county, national and British context.

This is the first full-scale study of the political radicalism of Iolo Morganwg, the renowned Welsh romantic whose colourful life as a Glamorgan stonemason, poet, writer, political activist and humanitarian made him one of the founders of modern Wales.
