During Iolo Morganwg's lifetime Britain was obsessed with literary forgery. This book reveals the unexpected connections and hidden influences behind Britain's most successful (and hence, perhaps, least visible) Romantic forger. It explores Iolo's own strongly-held ideas about the Truth-historical, literary and religious.

During his lifetime, Britain was fascinated with literary forgery. Iolos own strongly-held ideas about the truthhistorical, literary, and religiousspeak about more than mere deception and offer a provocative look at the blurred intersection of the Celtic and British Romantic worlds. The Truth Against the World examines the complex relationships entangled around Iolos forgeries and their criticism, as well as how, after death, his ideas affected the Celtic cultural revival.
