Nearly ten thousand pages of writing in the Welsh language stemming directly from the American Civil War has survived in print and in manuscript. This is the first book-length treatment in English of a new field - the reactions of Welsh-American writers to the Civil War. This study 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, and it examines literary expressions of Welsh-speaking Americans' commitment to the cause of Abolition.

A ground-breaking volume which examins material in three languages - Welsh, English and Cherokee (Dsalagi) - while discussing different aspects of the missionary work of two Welsh Baptists who lived and worked amongst the native American tribe.

A collection of five scholarly essays presenting a thorough study of the nature of a Welsh identity as reflected in the literature of the Tudor period, with special reference to the chronicle of Elis Gruffydd and the strict metre cywyddau of Dafydd Llwyd of Mathafarn.
