Beskrivning
A study that defines 'literature' broadly, considering the letters and diaries of soldiers and civilians who lived through the war as well as the poetry and prose of Welsh America's more 'professional' writers. It looks at ways in which the Civil War effected the articulation of Welsh-American national identity.

Recensioner i media

"... of interest both to historians and to literary critics. It comprehensively and thoroughly documents the reaction of Welsh-speaking Welsh-Americans to the looming crisis over slavery and disunion and to the War itself, using both printed and ms. sources. It also touches upon the more "belles lettres" dimension of this reaction, sometimes in ways that refer back to the poetic traditions of Wales, and sometimes in ways that interconnect with contemporary Anglophone literary responses (e.g., in the case of Harriet Beecher Stowe). ... very well written, which would suggest that it might reach out to some of the huge trans-Atlantic audience for popular Civil War history." K. P. Van Anglen, Boston University
