There have been few Welsh-language writers this century who have commanded as much veneration in their own lifetime as did John Gwilym Jones. He is mainly remembered as a playwright as well as an accomplished and exacting director, but also as a writer of fiction, and important literary critic and an academic. His profound influence has been widely acknowledged by successive generations of Welsh-language writers, poets, academics and actors.
This book serves as an invaluable introduction to John Gwilym Jones's creative writing, particularly for that audience which is unable to turn to the original Welsh texts. Since no translations of John Gwilym Jones's works have been published, the author has incorporated useful outlines of the plays and works of fiction, as well as offering critical comment and assessing John Gwilym Jones's major contribution to the development of modern Welsh drama.
