History, Society and the Individual
Essays by John Morgan-Guy
John Morgan-Guy
‘Wales has a long tradition of according great respect to teachers and scholars. Through his meticulous attention to individuals and their place in history, John Morgan-Guy has quietly revealed aspects of society which others, devoted to the great sweep of things, have missed. These essays are a tribute to an outstanding scholar, one who has furthered and graced Welsh learning.’
Rt Revd Dr Christopher Herbert, Bishop of St Albans (1995–2009)

Patronage and Power in the Medieval Welsh March
One Family's Story
David Stephenson
‘In this engaging study, David Stephenson shows how one Welsh gentry family successfully negotiated the challenges posed by foreign conquest in order to further their own interests, thereby throwing revealing new light on the realities of power in medieval Wales and its borders.’
Huw Pryce, Professor Emeritus of Welsh History, Bangor University

Gothic Metaphysics
From Alchemy to the Anthropocene
Jodey Castricano
‘Gothic Metaphysics offers a bracing revaluation of Gothic values for the twenty-first century. Here, the Gothic – long the repository of arcane knowledges dismissed by scientific materialism – offers a mode of thought essential to our survival in the Anthropocene … realigning the Gothic with Jung, alchemy and quantum physics. This is indispensable reading not only on the Gothic but also on the state of things as they currently are and hope to be.’
Professor Joel Faflak, Western University, London, ON

South Asian Gothic
Haunted cultures, histories and media
Edited by Katarzyna Ancuta and Deimantas Valančiūnas
‘South Asian Gothic is much more than a survey of how the Gothic has developed in a specific geographical region. It sets an agenda for future scholarship through its exposure of unfamiliar but compelling texts, its open-minded approach to the genre across a commendable range of media, and its sensitive response to the vibrant cultures of South Asia. This is an essential text for any scholar engaging with today’s globalgothic.’
- Professor William Hughes, University of Macau

Women, Memory and Dictatorship in Recent Chilean Fiction
Palabra de Mujer
Gustavo Carvajal
‘A powerful exploration of the gendered dimensions of subjugation and the many ways such violence has been rendered visible through literature. By bringing together post-dictatorial Chilean fiction, feminist theory and historical analysis, Carvajal prompts us to think in new ways about patriarchal control, militaristic culture, and how writing can become a tool of dissent.’
- Dr Lisa Renee DiGiovanni, Keene State College, New Hampshire

Miranda Aldhouse-Green

Theologia Cambrensis
Protestant Religion and Theology in Wales, Volume 2: The Long Nineteenth Century, 1760-1900
D. Densil Morgan
‘This second volume of Theologia Cambrensis completes Densil Morgan’s magisterial study of Protestant religion and theology in Wales. It brilliantly opens up a world which can now be appreciated by those unable to access the Welsh sources, and it will become indispensable.’
-Professor Frances Knight, University of Nottingham

The History of Wales in Twelve Poems
M. Wynn Thomas
‘With style, energy and sureness of touch … we are guided through the complex story of Welsh identity from Maelgwn Gwynedd to Mark Drakeford, weaving political and cultural themes together in a vivid tapestry. There are very few pages that do not offer fresh insights, even for those who know their Welsh history well. The poems chosen are an excellent mix of the expected and the unexpected.’
Rowan Williams, Former Master, Magdalene College, Cambridge
