About the Book

This book introduces the contribution of modern Welsh literature to our understanding of peace and pacifism an important and much overlooked subject in Welsh studies. Taking a literary-historical approach to the subject, it reveals how modern Welsh writing opens up history in ways in which historical discourse alone sometimes fails to do. It argues that the concepts of peace, peacefulness and pacifism have played a broader and more complex role in Welsh life than has been recognised, primarily through an influential Welsh-language pacifist intelligentsia. The author reminds us that Welsh pacifism is distinguished from English pacifism by the Welsh language itself, its links with Welsh nationalism and by the fact that it faced challenges and pressures never encountered by English pacifism. Authors discussed in this study include Tony Curtis, George M. Ll. Davies, Pennar Davies, John Eilian, Emyr Humphreys, Glyn Jones, D. Gwenallt Jones, T. Gwynn Jones, T. E. Nicholas, Iorwerth C. Peate, Angharad Price, Ned Thomas, Lily Tobas and Waldo Williams.

Review :
"Pacifism, Peace and Modern Welsh Writing is an enlivening and erudite study, which draws on a range of Welsh-language and English-language texts to reveal the distinctive, interwoven history and cultural importance of pacifist thought in Wales."--Dr. Laura Wainwright, author of New Territories in Modernism: Anglophone Welsh Writing 1930-1949 "Words! What do they mean? This book starts with the problem of words. 'Pacifism' can mean 'cowardice' or 'in praise of peace, ' depending on who says it and what their purpose is. In exploring the apparent paradox, this book expands the meaning of what it is to be a pacifist." --Professor David Cadman, co-editor of Peacefulness (2017)
