This exploration and analysis of 20th-century English fiction in Wales surveys major periods and genres and the significance of authors like Allen Raine and Christopher Meredith. Welsh fiction is considered from a cultural viewpoint, relating authors and texts to the determining forces of their period and contexts, such as economy, politics, religion, and gender issues. In addition, special attention is paid to the pressure of modern-day Welsh identity on writers and critics in Wales and the role of Welsh-language culture.
