Lewis Edwards
Lewis Edwards (1809–87) oedd pennaf ysgolhaig Cymru’r bedwaredd ganrif ar bymtheg ac yn un a gododd safonau y Gymru Ymneilltuol a’u gosod ar seiliau dysg rhyngwladol. Yn Fethodist Calfinaidd o ran ei fagwraeth a’i argyhoeddiadau, yfodd yn ddwfn o dduwioldeb ei gyfnod. Mynnodd gymathu ei ysbrydolrwydd â dysg, a thrwy hynny bu’n anniwall am ei addysgu ei hun, yn gyntaf mewn ysgolion gwlad lleol yng Ngheredigion, ei sir enedigol, yna ym Mhrifysgol Llundain, ond yn bennaf ym Mhrifysgol Caeredin, sef yr unig brifysgolion a oedd yn agored i Ymneilltuwyr Protestannaidd na allent gydymffurfio, o ran cydwybod, â’r Eglwys Wladol. Oni bai am hynny i Brifysgol Rhydychen yr âi. Yn ogystal ag ymorol am ddysg, mynnodd gyfuno ei grefydd brofiadol, Fethodistaidd, â diwylliant secwlar, yn llenyddol ac yn athronyddol, rhywbeth a wnaeth yn bur lwyddiannus yn ystod ei gyfnod wrth draed yr awdur ‘Christopher North’ a’r ysgolhaig Thomas Chalmers yn yr Alban (1833–6).

Sensuous Glory
Born a century ago, the poet D. Gwenallt Jones displays a rare spiritual authority that gives his work an increasing importance beyond his native Wales. His distinctive voice was shaped by his embrace of an impassioned Christianity in the face of the wars and bleak industrialism of the twentieth century, and potent images of tragedy confronted by hope and generosity are woven throughout his poetry. His precise descriptions of local people and places have a universal and timeless significance, becoming the badeground of apocalyptic powers of good and evil. Here the well-known writer Donald Allchin explores the international relevance of Gwenallt's writing, while D. Densil Morgan gives a critical assessment of the body of his work.These extended essays are followed by Patrick Thomas' new translations of thirty-five of Gwenallt's poems.
