Generaleditor’sPrefaCe

The aim of this series is to produce a body of scholarly and critical work that reects the richness and variety of the English-language literature of modern Wales. Drawing upon the eXpertise both of established specialists and of younger scholars, it will seek to take advantage of the concepts, models and discourses current in the best contemporary studies to promote a better understanding of the literature’s signiîcance, viewed not only as an eXpres-sion of Welsh culture but also as an instance of modern literatures in English worldwide. In addition, it will seek to make available the scholarly materials (such as bibliographies) necessary for this kind of advanced, informed study.
