‘Christopher Meredith is one of Wales’s most gifted writers, and Diana Wallace’s study is an exceptionally erudite and deft analysis of his work. Situating Meredith in relation to writers such as James Joyce, Raymond Williams, George Orwell and others, Wallace pursues Meredith’s literary preoccupations across novels and poetry, essays and short stories. This book is a compelling study of an author fascinated by language and translations, history and time, work and gender, place and identity.’
- Professor Kirsti Bohata, Director of CREW, Swansea University

‘This continues to be an indispensable source of information for the political and social history of medieval Wales. The documentary evidence presented here casts fascinating light on the careers and connections of the ruling classes and on the interactions between English overlords and the Welsh gentry who administered local government on their behalf.’
- Professor Dafydd Johnston, University of Wales Centre for Advanced Welsh and Celtic Studies

An edited volume of eleven chapters, which reconstructs the world of the ‘Newport Medieval Ship’, c.1450–1468. The archaeological remains of this vessel were discovered and subsequently excavated in South Wales in 2002. Following this, the ship has undergone conservation and investigation, prior to it being displayed in Newport. This volume, written by Europe’s leading maritime historians, provides and interprets the vessel, and provides a more detailed reconstruction of a late medieval maritime world.

‘The economic, social, religious and linguistic tensions of nineteenth- century Montgomeryshire provide the fascinating context for this investigation of how justice was administered at local level when the legal system itself was being reformed. This book admirably complements existing studies of crime and criminality in Wales, contributing significantly to our knowledge of the kinds of people involved.’
- Professor Thomas Glyn Watkin, Wales Legislative Counsel 2007–10

‘This is a new book, an original book. It traces the history of literary representations of violence and fear in South Africa, and it interrogates the ways in which these might be fruitfully considered as falling within the remit of ‘Gothic’. The reader will find here a vast range of texts; a continuing political commentary handled with subtlety and discrimination; and a sure hand when thinking through the postcolonial implications on Gothic tropes’.
- Professor David Punter, University of Bristol

‘The patterns of Welsh theology during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries are almost unknown outside Wales. Here, at last, is a thorough study of these developments in both Church and Dissent. It is an authoritative tour de force.’
