Description
Eluned Phillips was a woman of passion and conviction, whose life was marked by both incredible achievement and controversy. This biography tells the story of her remarkable journey, from rural Carmarthenshire to bohemian Paris and urbane Los Angeles, spanning much of the 20th Century. A true original, Eluned Phillips defied convention in many ways. She was a pioneering figure in Welsh literature, winning the National Eisteddfod crown twice - a first for any woman, let alone two times. Her unconventional lifestyle took her to pre-war London and Paris, where she rubbed shoulders with some of the most famous artists of the time. This biography offers a nuanced and affectionate portrait of Eluned Phillips, a complex and fascinating figure whose life was full of contradictions and surprises.
