Opis
WELSH TIME was first published by Gwasg Gregynog in 2009 on the occasion of Emyr Humphreys's ninetieth birthday. It was curated by M. Wynn Thomas, Emyr Humphreys's great friend. It is a comprehensive compilation of Emyr Humphreys work that follows a time line in his fiction from 1900 to 2000.
It is a remarkable fact that his own life also spanned more or less the same era, and that the reader can experience a vivid picture of a Wales that changed in front of the authors eyes as it were. Knowing where you come from, in order to know where you are going, was a recurring theme in his work. This body of work has evolved in the landscape of Wales. Emyr Humphreys's fiction exposes roots that tie us to a place and time, but also in Wales, to a second language that in his lifetime was in constant retreat. He understands that it is the Welsh language that holds our nation's myths in its collective memory. Dealing with this dilemma constitutes one of the creative cauldron's of his work.
The Gwasg Gregynog edition of Welsh Time was as you would expect a fine, rare, and expensive book to celebrate Emyr Humphreys's life's work. It struck us, Ali Anwar of the H'mm Foundation, M. Wynn Thomas, and Emyr's children that the existence of the book could be used to introduce new readers to his prose and poetry. By reprinting the work in a more accessible form we hope to achieve that goal. Paul Croft who's fine illustrations so enhanced the original volume also agreed. A book that more people could use as a guide into the Wales of Emyr Humphreys's fiction. What could be a better way to compliment all the creative work done to produce the original Welsh Time.
