The writing of good autobiography requires an encounter with oneself that can involve the need to wrestle with potent elements from one's past. This work on 20th-century Welsh autobiography in English traces the psychological influences which have shaped the consciousness and world views of seven authors, all by birth, or by adoption, Welsh.
The psychological influences that have shaped the consciousness and worldviews of seven Welsh authors are traced in this pioneering work on 20th-century Welsh autobiographers. The autobiographies include humorist Gwyn Thomas, whose comic exuberance is shown to have bleak origins; B. L. Coombes and Ron Berrys depictions of a now bygone valley society; feminist Lorna Sages caustic eye on her border upbringing; Margid Evans''s view on the different phases of life; Rhys Davis''s manipulation of his own history; and R. S. Thomass engagement in a searingly honest search for self.
