An Unfolding Vision: The University of Wales Trinity Saint David 1822–2022

A richly illustrated collection commemorating the bicentenary of the oldest university in Wales.
 
An Unfolding Vision commemorates the University of Wales Trinity Saint David’s bicentennial through a collection of essays about collegiate life. A substantial update to the 175th-anniversary collection, A Bold Imagining, this enlarged edition pairs the original with new essays from some of the world’s leading scholars with lavish illustrations drawn from the university’s rich archive. Spanning two hundred years, An Unfolding Vision offers unique glimpses into the evolving history of the oldest higher education institution in Wales.

In 2007 a collection of short essays was published as A Bold Imagining to mark the 175th anniversary of the opening of St David’s College, Lampeter to students in 1827. Now the Lampeter campus of University of Wales Trinity St David, to commemorate the 200th anniversary of its foundation, An Unfolding Vision is a substantially updated and enlarged edition of that book, containing many of the original essays but also several new contributions, all lavishly illustrated. Each one of the contributors was and is in one way or another closely associated with this historic institution, and an expert in their respective fields. The volume is not intended to be a narrative history, but rather fascinating glimpses into 200 years of collegiate life, and those who formed and shaped it.
