Published to mark the centennial of his birth, this is the first comprehensive and authoritative study of the life and work of Welsh writer Emyr Humphreys. With a remarkable career spanning over seventy years as a writer, Humphreys has published more than two dozen novels, as well as several collections of short stories. In addition to offering a critical and interpretative survey of his remarkable body of work, this book also sets Humphreys’s output in the context of the dramatic and transformative decades in recent Welsh history during which it was produced. The essays are supplemented by informative interviews between Humphreys and M. Wynn Thomas.
