Description
The struggle for power and authority has been at the heart of Welsh writing for over two centuries. In the Shadow of the Pulpit explores how this struggle has shaped the English-language literature produced in Wales, tracing the growing literary response to the power of Welsh Nonconformity from the eighteenth century onwards. This book uncovers a new body of nineteenth-century fiction from Wales, shedding light on a previously overlooked period in the country's literary history. By examining the intersection of literature and Nonconformity, M. Wynn Thomas reveals the complex and often contentious relationship between writers and preachers in Wales. With its unique perspective on Welsh literature, In the Shadow of the Pulpit offers a fascinating insight into the country's literary heritage.
