Philip Schwyzer is Professor of Renaissance Literature at the University of Exeter, and the author of studies including Shakespeare and the Remains of Richard III (2013) and Literature, Nationalism and Memory in Early Modern England and Wales (2004).

Humphrey Llwyd “ gifted Welsh Renaissance humanist, politician, antiquary and cartographer “ has long needed a comprehensive interpretation of his multifaceted oeuvre. This groundbreaking volume, ably edited by Philip Schwyzer, brings together authoritative chapters that both locate Llwyd within the intellectual context of his day and convincingly demonstrate the import, in the Tudor age and later, of his often provocative representation of the relationship between Welsh and British history.
