- Summary
- "The 1950s proved to be a watershed in the history of the Welsh-language novel. This was largely due to Islwyn Ffowc Elis, whose Cysgod y Cryman (The Shadow of the Sickle) is considered a milestone in the development of the form in Welsh. In this and in subsequent work, Islwyn Ffowc Elis succeeded in giving the Welsh novel contemporary relevance, thereby opening up a new range of themes and ideas for exploration by the rising generation of novelists. In this first book-length study in English of Islwyn Ffowc Elis, T. Robin Chapman provides a comprehensive assessment of the work of an author regarded by many as the father of the modern Welsh novel."--BOOK JACKET.
