“It would be hard to conceive of anyone else as impeccably qualified as M. Wynn Thomas to interpret that babel of voices . . . His reading is as judicious as it is encyclopedic, and his judgment is secure . . . a giant step forward in the right direction.” –Glanmor Williams, Times Literary Supplement
“What is so refreshing about this book is that it makes connections between the two languages of Wales of which only a Welsh-speaker who is also educated in English could attempt. New perspectives are opened up, new discourses explored ad new light shed on writers who were once thought to have been the product of wholly monolingual societies. Into all this are woven strands from post-colonial, post-modernist and feminist criticism so that national identity is related to gender identity and Wales is opened up to the world. Wales has its major literary critic at last.” –Western Mail
“ . . . Professor Thomas’s book is a valuable introduction to the modern literatures of Wales. It is also full of revealing insights.” –Western Mail
