Classic Welsh Short StoriesGwyn Jones, Islwyn Ffowc Elis Oxford University Press, 1992 - 239 This unique volume offers readers twenty-five of the finest short stories by Welsh writers of this century. Ten of these are translations from Welsh--most of them commissioned especially for this book--and include works by E. Tegla Davies, Islywn Ffowc Elis, Bobi Jones, John Gwilym Jones, Kate Roberts, D.J. Williams, and Islwyn Williams. Among the Anglo-Welsh writers represented--whose creative language is English--are Rhys Davies, Caradoc Evans, Geraint Goodwin, Richard Hughs, Glyn Johns, Gwyn Jones, Alun Lewis, Dylan Thomas, and Gwyn Thomas. Most of the stories revolve around Welsh characters and their country, but the anthology also includes a number of stories with other settings, such as California, India, Canada, and England. The result is a balanced, revealing, and highly readable collection, introduced by a lively account of the subject in both Welsh and English. Classic Welsh Short Stories makes one of the richest literary traditions available to all readers of English. |
