Description
This book provides a comprehensive critical study of Christopher Meredith's fiction and poetry, exploring his significance in relation to Welsh writing in English.
Diana Wallace examines all of Meredith's work, including novels such as "Shifts" and "Griffri", as well as his four volumes of poetry. The author places Meredith's work within broader discussions of post-industrial, postcolonial, postmodern, and historical fictions to demonstrate his international importance.
The book combines new research with close textual reading and theoretically informed analysis to explore Meredith's life as a bilingual writer whose work is characterized by its geographical and historical specificity, as well as its concern with universal themes.
