Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ranging from the nineteenth-century to the present, this book explores several central aspects of the ways in which the English-language poetry and fiction of Wales has responded to what was, for a crucial period of a century or so, the dominant culture of Wales: the culture of Welsh Nonconformity. In the introduction, the author reflects on why no sustained attempt has hitherto been made to investigate one of the formative cultural influences on modern 'Anglo-Welsh' literature, the Nonconformist inheritance. The importance of addressing this strange and significant cultural deficit is then explained, and a preliminary attempt made to capture something of the spirit of Welsh Nonconformity. The succeeding chapters address and seek to answer such questions as: What exactly did the Welsh chapels believe and do? Why have the English-language writers of Wales, from Caradoc Evans and Dylan Thomas to R.S. Thomas and the authors of today, been so fascinated by them? How accurate are the impressions we've been given of chapel life and chapel people in the English-language poetry and fiction of Wales? The answers offered may alter our views both of the Welsh Nonconformist past and of Welsh writing in English. One of the ideas advanced is that many of Wales' most important writers went to war with the preachers in their texts, and that their work is therefore the site of cultural struggle. Theirs was a war in words waged to determine who would have the last word on modern Welsh experience.

Book excerpt: In the stories and anecdotes that make up this book, the reader will discover the invincible power that resides in every human being to survive vicissitudes and reach a renaissance of peace. Ann and Joel Klein write their history from their personal perspectives and follow the time-honored story-telling tradition of their people that celebrates joy and sorrow with the eternal hope that life is beautiful. This powerful meaning of their own and their extended family's lives on two continents under four divergent political systems breaks through their words. The stories tell a couple's private and professional life in one particular setting. Their significance lies in the inescapable recognition that every man and woman in any setting will find relevance to his or her life in them.
