Thomas Jeffery Llewelyn Prichard
T.J. Llewelyn Prichard is best known as the author of Twm Sion Catti - claimed to be the first Welsh novel in English and popular enough to be pirated in the mid-19th century. Dozens of versions of the story have been published since. If only for this reason, Prichard ranks as an important Welsh antecedent.
One Moonlit Night
This simple novel tells of one boy's journey into the grown-up world. By the light of a full moon our narrator and his friends Huw and Moi witness a side to their Welsh village life that they had no idea existed, and their childish innocence is exchanged for a shocking introduction to the horrors of the adult world.
James Cowles Prichard's Anthropology
The Bristol doctor James Cowles Prichard (1786-1848) has enjoyed a glowing reputation. Late Victorians regarded him as the founder of British anthropology and, in the twentieth century, he has been considered as a precursor of Darwin. Nowadays his name is cited mainly in context of inquiries into the rise of racial theories. Prichard's own theoretical goal was simple: the son of Quaker parents, he attempted to establish that the Bible provided a correct account of the earliest history of humankind; above all it was his aim to prove once and for all the doctrine of monogenesis: the unitary origins of mankind. He single-handedly charted the waters of the pre-Victorian human sciences. Philology...
Residual Futures
In the postwar years, an eruption of urbanization took place across Japan, from its historical central cities to the outer reaches of the archipelago. During the 1960s and 1970s, Japanese literary and visual media took a deep interest in cities and their problems, and what this rapid change meant for the country. In Residual Futures, Franz Prichard offers a pathbreaking analysis of the works wrought from this intensive urbanization, mapping the ways in which Japanese filmmakers, writers, photographers, and other artists came to grips with the entwined ecologies of a drastic transformation. Residual Futures examines crucial works of documentary film, fiction, and photography that interrogated...

Short of the Glory
" Arthur Schlesinger Jr. thought that he might one day become president. He was a protege of Felix Frankfurter and Fred Vinson--a political prodigy who held a series of important posts in the Roosevelt and Truman administrations. Whatever became of Edward F. Prichard, Jr., so young and brilliant and seemingly destined for glory? Prichard was a complex man, and his story is tragically ironic. The boy from Bourbon County, Kentucky, graduated at the top of his Princeton class and cut a wide swath at Harvard Law School. He went on to clerk in the U.S. Supreme Court and become an important figure in Roosevelt's Brain Trust. Yet Prichard--known for his dazzling wit and photographic memory--fell vi...
Gwilym Prichard
Since the 1950s, Gwilym Prichard has been painting on Anglesey and in the foothills of Snowdonia. He has captured the season on the Ll?n Peninsula, where he grew up, and rocks and sea along the Pembrokeshire coast, where he lives now. His birthplace and his present home are no more than 135 miles apart, but the journey, much of which Prichard travelled alongside his wife, artist Claudia Williams, has been far from straightforward and had a less than auspicious start. It entailed reconciling his life as an artist with the need to make a living as a teacher; providing a home for his four children without ever settling down for good; pulling up stakes and setting out anew at midlife on the Greek Islands, setting up studios in Brittany and Provence, and moving house some two dozen times along the way.
