Welsh Modern Classics
"Connects us to the world, as well as the invisible life to which literature gives form and dignity.” – Llion Wigley, O’r Pedwar Gwynt
"An exceptional literary mind in search for meaning.” – Casi Dylan, Cyfnewidfa Len Cymru / Wales Literature Exchange
A collection of a decade worth of essays and thought pieces by Angharad Price, one of the most highly regarded authors and scholars working in Welsh today, Empaperment, originally Ymbapuroli (2020) has been translated by the author herself.
With a title drawn from the work of TH Parry Williams – a master of the 20th-century essay form, on whom Price has written extensively – the subtlety and capaciousness of these writings reveal Price a successor as much as a researcher of his extraordinary talents. With subjects ranging from phonetics to cakes, from cleaning to Karl Marx, it is Price’s gift for sensitive, intelligent scrutiny that holds the volume together, her capacity to expand the meaning of the seemingly smallest mundanity.
Her play Nansi was produced by Theatr Genedlaethol Cymru. She is also the author of acclaimed studies on Welsh literature and is Professor of Welsh and Creative Writing at Bangor University.
