Contents Intr oduction 3 Introduction Aneurin Bevan was preoccupied with communication in August 1958. In Tribune , the weekly paper of the democratic Left, he discussed the relationship between China and 7 Bevan: Class and Socialism the United States in the following terms: 12 Robeson: Identity and Socialism Communication is the very essence of civilised ways of living. It is a most monstrous offence against this principle that the most populous nation on 15 Class and Identity earth should be cut off from communication with so many nations merely because the vision of the leaders of the United States falls so lamentably 20 Conclusion short of the material power they command. 1 21 References He had expressed similar thoughts a week earlier at the ‘Gymanfa Ganu’ [Congregational Singing Festival] of the National Eisteddfod in Ebbw Vale. ‘The whole lesson of Eisteddfodau is communication’ he stated ‘and unless the people can freely communicate with each other there is no chance for civilisation’. 2 Sitting in the audience with his wife Bessie was the African American singer and activist Paul Robeson who, following Bevan’s introduction, would rise to sing ‘John Brown’s Body’, ‘Water Boy’ and ‘We are Climbing Jacob’s Ladder’. 3 In 1950 Robeson’s passport had been taken from him and he was confined to the United States as the madness of Senator Joe McCarthy’s campaign against alleged Communists dominated the political and cultural life of his country. Robeson had just had his passport returned when he visited Ebbw Vale in 1958, and Bevan proceeded to criticize the US government for denying Robeson his right to travel and expressed his hope that the ban would never be reinstated. To obstruct communication between individuals and countries was a threat to world peace, stated Bevan, and while he had heard of the United States’s ambitions to ‘encircle the moon’, ‘they might start off at first by encircling China’. 4 If Bevan had one eye on the world, his thoughts on communication also engaged with the Welsh context. In order for Bevan to introduce Paul Robeson, the Gymanfa Ganu was moved from the last Sunday of the Eisteddfod to the first. The Eisteddfod had not been officially opened, and there was therefore no need to adhere to the ‘rheol Gymraeg’ (the Welsh language only rule), that was introduced in 1950 and would be in operation for the rest of the week: 2 | Aneurin Bevan and Paul Robeson: Socialism, Class and Identity National Eisteddfod Lecture 2010 | 3 I must have my say about the Eisteddfod this evening for I shall be inarticulate York. And following the return of his passport in 1958, he was introduced by Aneurin during the rest of the week... I want to say how much we in Ebbw Vale Bevan at the Ebbw Vale Eisteddfod.

For some, like Hywel Francis and Dai Having struggled during his career to overcome a stammer, and to give voice to the Smith, Robeson’s connections with the Welsh working class underline the progressive aspirations of his people, Bevan would have noted the strange irony of the fact that, for socialist internationalism of the labour movement, and reflect the diverse and tolerant the remainder of the week, he would be rendered inarticulate in his own constituency. communities of the coalfield. Dai Smith, echoing Aneurin Bevan’s emphasis on His message was clear enough for those willing to listen. 6 communication, states: According to the Merthyr Express , there were in fact over 9000 people packed into the Pavilion on August 3rd 1958 to listen to Bevan and Robeson and to participate South Wales, at its provocative best, contradicted the curtailers of human in the Gymanfa. Paul Robeson understood the nature of the event and, although he was interaction anywhere and everywhere it could. The ideal was, perhaps, often linked to the Communist Party, expressed his pleasure at being able to contribute to a merely, though movingly, emblematic as when south Wales miners arranged religious service: a transatlantic radio link so that Paul Robeson, deprived of his civil liberties and his passport in the USA, could sing at their Eisteddfod; or when Nye Bevan … You may not know it but I was brought up in traditions very similar to yours. welcomed Robeson to the National Eisteddfod in Ebbw Vale in 1958. 9 My father was a Wesleyan minister, my brother is one, and almost every Sunday I have taken part in similar hymn-singings to those you are enjoying It is revealing to compare this reading with T.

  • “The Prophecies of Fferyll”: Virgilian Reception in Wales
    “The Prophecies of Fferyll”: Virgilian Reception in Wales Revised from a paper given to the Virgil Society on 18 May 2013 Davies Whenever I make the short journey from my home to Swansea’s railway station, I pass two shops which remind me of Virgil. Both are chemist shops, both belong to large retail empires. The name-boards above their doors proclaim that each shop is not only a “pharmacy” but also a fferyllfa, literally “Virgil’s place”. In bilingual Wales homage is paid to the greatest of poets every time we collect a prescription! The Welsh words for a chemist or pharmacist fferyllydd( ), for pharmaceutical science (fferylliaeth), for a retort (fferyllwydr) are – like fferyllfa,the chemist’s shop – all derived from Fferyll, a learned form of Virgil’s name regularly used by writers and poets of the Middle Ages in Wales.1 For example, the 14th-century Dafydd ap Gwilym, in one of his love poems, pic- tures his beloved as an enchantress and the silver harp that she is imagined playing as o ffyrf gelfyddyd Fferyll (“shaped by Virgil’s mighty art”).2 This is, of course, the Virgil “of popular legend”, as Comparetti describes him: the Virgil of the Neapolitan tales narrated by Gervase of Tilbury and Conrad of Querfurt, Virgil the magician and alchemist, whose literary roots may be in Ecl. 8, a fascinating counterfoil to the prophet of the Christian interpretation of Ecl. 4.3 Not that the role of magician and the role of prophet were so differentiated in the medieval mind as they might be today.

Historians, sociologists, political scientists and others are increasingly collaborating in their study of the evolution of Welsh identity. This concept which was for so long monopolised and marked by a strong reference to the Welsh language and the importance of having an ethnic Welsh identity is now giving way to a more inclusive notion of what it means to be Welsh.

  • Plaid Cymru and the SNP in Government
    What does it mean to be ‘normal’? Plaid Cymru and the SNP in Government Craig McAngus School of Government and Public Policy University of Strathclyde McCance Building 16 Richmond Street Glasgow G1 1QX [email protected] Paper prepared for the Annual Conference of the Political Studies Association, Cardiff, 25 th -27 th March 2013 Abstract Autonomist parties have been described as having shifted from ‘niche to normal’. Governmental participation has further compounded this process and led to these parties facing the same ‘hard choices’ as other parties in government. However, the assumption that autonomist parties can now be described as ‘normal’ fails to address the residual ‘niche’ characteristics which will have an effect on the party’s governmental participation due to the existence of important ‘primary goals’. Taking a qualitative, comparative case study approach using semi-structured interview and documentary data, this paper will examine Plaid Cymru and the SNP in government. This paper argues that, although both parties can indeed be described as ‘normal’, the degree to which their ‘niche’ characteristics affect the interaction between policy, office and vote-seeking behaviour varies. Indeed, while the SNP were able to somewhat ‘detach’ their ‘primary goals’ from their government profile, Plaid Cymru’s ability to formulate an effective vote-seeking strategy was severely hampered by policy-seeking considerations. The paper concludes by suggesting that the ‘niche to normal’ framework requires two additional qualifications. Firstly, the idea that autonomist parties shift from ‘niche’ to ‘normal’ is too simplistic and that it is more helpful to examine how ‘niche’ characteristics interact with and affect ‘normal’ party status.

  • Rob Phillips the WELSH POLITICAL ARCHIVE at the NATIONAL LIBRARY of WALES
    Rob Phillips THE WELSH POLITICAL ARCHIVE AT THE NATIONAL LIBRARY OF WALES Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru or The National Library of Wales (NLW) in Aberystwyth was established in 1909, to collect and provide access to the documentary history of the nation. It is a legal deposit library and is therefore entitled to receive a copy of all books, magazines, newspapers etc. published in the United Kingdom and Ireland. The Welsh Political Archive (WPA) is a dedicated programme within the Library, established in 1983, to collect, catalogue and promote archival material which reflects the political life of Wales. There is one staff member who coordinates the WPA’s activities, answers enquiries, promotes the archive and works to attract archives to add to the collection. Organising and cataloguing archives is undertaken by staff in the NLW’s Archives and Manuscripts Section. But as the political collections include tapes of radio and television programmes, photographs, works of art, electronic files and websites, the WPA works across departments within the National Library. In addition to curatorial work, the Welsh Political Archive also works to promote the use of the political collections through lectures and exhibitions. An advisory committee (comprised of representatives of political parties and civil society, journalists and academics), guiding the work of the WPA, meets annually. Rob Phillips, ‘The Welsh Political Archive at the National Library of Wales’, in: Studies on National Movements, 3 (2015). http://snm.nise.eu/index.php/studies/article/view/0310s Studies on National Movements, 3 (2015) | SOURCES Collections Many of the political archives the NLW holds are personal collections of well-known political figures (Members of Parliament, Lords, Members of the European Parliament and Assembly Members); the formal records of a large number of political organisations – including the main political parties, campaign groups, referendum campaigns – and business and labour groups constitute another important part.
