Owen Rees
Excerpt from Owen Rees: A Story of Welsh Life and Thought The original intention of the writer of the following pages was merely to give a few sketches of certain religious characters that had come under his observation during the last fifty years; inasmuch as he had been asked by the editor of Y Cymro, for some contributions of that nature. When he sat down to his task, however, he felt that it might more easily ensure the sketches being read, if he threw them into the form of a story; and as he progressed, the story developed into a slight plot. This will account for the form it now assumes. A thorough awakening has of recent years taken place amongst Welsh people, and they are now animate...

Looking for Mr. Nobody
Goronwy Rees (1909-1979) was one of the most gifted and promising figures in the constellation of British poets, journalists, and intellectuals of the 1930s that included Louis MacNeice, W. H., Auden, C. Day Lewis, Isaiah Berlin, and Anthony Blunt. Like many liberals of his generation, he was shocked by the effects of the Depression and correspondingly sympathetic to the Communist regime in Russia. Guy Burgess, of the Cambridge spies--Burgess, Maclean, Philby, and Blunt, admitted his espionage to Rees. His association with Burgess was to blight the rest of Rees's life.

Goronwy Rees
This study of Goronwy Rees sets his writings in the context of a dramatically eventful life. The author discusses Rees' complex relationship with Wales and how he was perceived in his native country as being anti-Welsh.
Pelagius
Professor Rees here re-examines the evidence for the Pelagian controversy. The second part of the book consists of Pelagius' letters, which provide the clearest and most succinct statements of Pelagian theology, but few of which have ever been translated into English before. --from publisher description.
The Victorians
They built a nation. Now it’s our turn. Many associate the Victorian era with austere social attitudes and filthy factories. But in this bold and provocative book, Jacob Rees-Mogg -- leading Tory MP and prominent Brexit advocate -- takes up the story of twelve landmark figures to paint a very different picture of the age: one of bright ambition, bold self-belief and determined industriousness. Whether through Peel’s commitment to building free trade, Palmerston’s deft diplomacy in international affairs, or Pugin’s uplifting architectural feats, the Victorians transformed the nation and established Britain as a preeminent global force. Now 200 years since the birth of Queen Victoria, it is essential that we remember the spirit, drive and values of the Victorians who forged modern Britain, as we consider our future as a nation.
