A History of Christianity in Wales
Christianity, in its Catholic, Protestant and Nonconformist forms, has played an enormous role in the history of Wales and in the defining and shaping of Welsh identity over the past two thousand years. Biblical place names, an urban and rural landscape littered with churches, chapels, crosses and sacred sites, a bardic and literary tradition deeply imbued with Christian themes in both the Welsh and English languages, and the songs sung by tens of thousands of rugby supporters at the national stadium in Cardiff, all hint at a Christian presence that was once universal. Yet for many in contemporary Wales, the story of the development of Christianity in their country remains little known. Whil...
Welsh Gothic
Welsh Gothic, the first study of its kind, introduces readers to the array of Welsh Gothic literature published from 1780 to the present day. Informed by postcolonial and psychoanalytic theory, it argues that many of the fears encoded in Welsh Gothic writing are specific to the history of Welsh people, telling us much about the changing ways in which Welsh people have historically seen themselves and been perceived by others. The first part of the book explores Welsh Gothic writing from its beginnings in the last decades of the eighteenth century to 1997. The second part focuses on figures specific to the Welsh Gothic genre who enter literature from folk lore and local superstition, such as the sin-eater, cŵn Annwn (hellhounds), dark druids and Welsh witches.
Madws
A historical fantasy novel set in 1752 when the Julian calendar replaced the Gregorian calendar. It features Martha, the apothecary's daughter, who is transported to Annwn the Celtic otherworld by Madws (the character who controls time), and relates her amazing experiences. This multilayered piece of fiction is packed with adventure and plenty of humor.
Tadwlad
Mae'r nofel hon yn olrhain taith y prif gymeriad Dylan Rhys, sy'n gweithio mewn canolfan ffoaduriaid, i ddysgu am hanes ei deulu a phwy oedd ei gyndadau. Mae ei orffennol ef a phresennol rhai o'r dynion sydd dan ei ofal yn y ganolfan yn cyd-daro i greu stori bwerus a chyfoethog. Dyma nofel am ddynion, eu perthynas â'i gilydd, a'u brodyr a'u tadau.
Hanna
‘Hanna – mwy o ddŵr poeth!’ gorchmynnodd Mrs Lewis gan godi ar ei thraed a gwthio’r tebot i’w dwylo. Safodd Hanna wrth y range yn disgwyl i’r tegell ferwi. Roedd ei thu mewn hi’n berwi hefyd. Dw i mewn trwbl rŵan, meddyliodd, roedd Mrs Lewis yn edrych mor flin ac mi fydd hi’n siŵr o gwyno amdana i wrth Mr Lewis, ond pam dydy fy marn i ddim yn cyfri? Morwyn yng nghartref arolygwr y chwarel yw Hanna, merch annibynnol ei meddwl sy’n fodlon herio’r drefn mewn oes galed. Dyma nofel hanes fywiog sy’n agor yn 1910, cyfnod Lloyd George a’r Suffragettes, a chymdeithas y chwareli llechi yn gefndir iddi. Mae Rhian Cadwaladr yn actor ac yn awdur dawnus a phrysur sydd wedi cyhoeddi ar gyfer plant ac oedolion. Dau o’i llyfrau mwyaf llwyddiannus yw’r rhai coginio Casa Cadwaladr (2021) a Casa Dolig (2023). Hanna yw ei llyfr cyntaf ar gyfer dysgwyr.
