  • Thomas Stephens and the Abergavenny Cymreigyddion: Letters from the Cambrian 1842–3
    Thomas Stephens and the Abergavenny Cymreigyddion: Letters from the Cambrian 1842–3 Considerable information regarding cultural and intellectual habits may be gleaned from the extensive archive of nineteenth-century newspapers and periodicals held by The National Library of Wales. Sometimes a series of articles or letters reveals so much about both the form and content of contemporary public discourse and the personalities involved that it deserves to be made more publicly accessible. The acerbic letters written by Thomas Stephens (‘B.C.D.’) of Merthyr Tydfil to the editor of the Cambrian between November 1842 and March 1843, and the vigorous replies they received from prominent contemporary figures, among them Thomas Price (‘Carnhuanawc’), Taliesin Williams (‘Taliesin ab Iolo’) and James James (‘Iago Emlyn’), constitute such a collection. These ‘public letters’ bear testimony to the emergence of Thomas Stephens (then only twenty-one years old) as an astute, unyielding and harsh cultural critic.1 They illuminate the fierceness of the debate about the function and conduct of eisteddfodic prize competitions in the decade before the ‘Treachery of the Blue Books’ in 1847 subdued such public dispute, at least in the English language. They also shed light on the ideas of a group of Welsh middle-class ‘progressives’ who sought to replace the reigning paradigm of romanticism in Welsh culture with a more scientific approach to history and national culture.2 In addition, they reveal attempts to establish cultural rules to govern the ‘fair’ use of bardic names and pseudonyms in Victorian Wales. Last, but not least, references to the continuation of the debate in other newspapers, such as the Merthyr Guardian and the Silurian, as well as at public meetings and in a high-street pharmacy, demonstrate how consensus 3 was reached in the ‘walking town’ of Merthyr Tydfil in the 1840s.

  • A Welsh Classical Dictionary
    A WELSH CLASSICAL DICTIONARY GADEON ap CYNAN. See Gadeon ab Eudaf Hen. GADEON ab EUDAF HEN. (330) Gadeon is probably the correct form of the name which appears in the tale of ‘The Dream of Macsen Wledig’ as Adeon ab Eudaf, brother of Cynan ab Eudaf. According to the tale, Adeon and Cynan followed Macsen to the continent and captured Rome for him. After that Macsen gave them permission to conquer lands for themselves, (see s.n. Cynan ab Eudaf), but Adeon returned to his own country (WM 187, 189-191, RM 88, 90-92). According to Jesus College MS.20 the wife of Coel Hen was the daughter of Gadeon ab Eudaf Hen (JC 7 in EWGT p.45), and this is probably correct although later versions make her the daughter of Gadeon (variously spelt) ap Cynan ab Eudaf, and she is given the name Ystradwel (variously spelt) (ByA §27a in EWGT p.90). Also in the various versions of the ancestry of Custennin ap Cynfor and Amlawdd Wledig we find Gadeon (variously spelt) ap Cynan ab Eudaf (JC 11, ByA §30b, 31, ByS §76 in EWGT pp.45, 93, 94, 65). Similarly in MG §5 in EWGT p.39, but Eudaf is misplaced. The various spellings show that the name was unfamiliar: Gadean, Gadvan, Gadiawn, Kadeaun, Cadvan, Kadien, Kadiawn. See EWGT passim. It seems probable that Gadeon ab Cynan is an error for Gadeon ab Eudaf, rather than to suppose two such persons (PCB). GAFRAN ab AEDDAN. He appears in Bonedd Gwŷr y Gogledd (§11 in EWGT p.73) as Gafran ab Aeddan Fradog ap Dyfnwal Hen.

A PREFACE is the place for npoloirios and cx])lanatioiis '^ plus anythino^ else, that may set off the Author's work, or give wings to his vanity. T shall not apologize to the Welsh nation, because T feel rather indignant that none of them has attempted a similar work, and I shall not apologize to the English public, as this was not primarily inteuded to meet their eye, if they read it. it must be at theii' own risk, whether they find it dull or un- intelligible, especially as I have in certain instances given quota- tions without translations, though it might be affectation to deny that a circulation in England would be gratifying. It is a nauseous practice which some writers in Wales fall into, of giving translations without the original, sometimes for the benefit of a minority only of their readers. Tt is easy to say, why cannot Welsh be served up in a translated form ? Personally, I do not believe that one language can be trans- lated into another, to say so is almost a contradiction in terms, and if Welsh prose is partially untranslatable, Welsh poetry is much more so.

  • St Dogfan's Church
    Explore the Meini Bywiol Living Stones Heritage Trail 3 St Dogfan’s Church St Dogfan’s Church is sited on the southern edge of the village where it was founded as a “clas” or Celtic monastery. Llanrhaeadr was the administrative centre of Powys Fadog Province and the church would have played an important role in the province. A carved Celtic wheel cross (Cwgan stone), on a carved stone probably used as a coffin lid dating The south elevation and tower in 1872, before restoration, and from the ninth or tenth century, was found in the wall during today. The tower is all that survives of the rustic charm of the the late Victorian restoration. The church is famous as the earlier south bay, porch and vestry.
