Welsh Writing from the American Civil War (hardback) (ISBN 0708320201)
". . . 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."

 | The Song of Deeds: A Study of The Anathemata of David Jones (ISBN 0-7083-0806-6)
David Jones's long poem, The Anathemata, first published in 1952, has always been admired, particularly by other poets. Eliot thought it the 'remarkable' work of a writer 'of major importance', and Auden described it as 'the greatest long poem written in English in this century'. Neil Corcoran's study is concerned with the critical task of suggesting the nature, scope and significance of David Jones's achievement. It explores the affinities between Jones's work and that of other modernists, particularly Eliot and Joyce; and it attempts to trace Jones's importance in the history and development of modern British poetry.

Thomas. This perceptive study locates Jones in his social and cultural contexts and demonstrates his considerable achievement as a transitional figure in the development of ‘Anglo-Welsh’ poetry.
