Bardism, Iolo Morganwg's idiosyncratic bardo-druidic vision, was a radicalized version of Wales' professional poetic tradition. This volume's discussion of the layers of national, regional and personal identity in Bardism also brings into focus bardic nationalism and the tensions involved in the expression of national and regional loyalties.

Bardism was the idiosyncratic vision of the Romantic forger Iolo Morganwg—a radical Druid revival that asserted Welsh identity and downplayed the influence of Christianity. It furnished the Welsh nation with a pantheon of heroes; asserted liberty, equality, freedom of speech, and opposition to war; and repudiated the tired contemporary stereotype of the barbarous Celt. Bardic Circles discusses the national, religious, and personal identities made explicit in Bardism and its relation to Iolo’s self-definition, Romantic forgeries, and contemporary Welsh self-image.
