  • The Upper Ceiriog Trail (Directions & Map)
    The Upper Ceiriog Trail Route Description Explained in an anticlockwise direction starting at Llanarmon Dyffryn Ceiriog. Grid Reference SJ 157 328 (Lat 52.886482 Long -3.253547). All distances and heights are approximate. Assuming a start from Llanarmon DC, take the road heading south out of the village with The Hand Hotel on the left. Follow road uphill for 1 mile (1.5 km). Shortly before you reach a road junction with white railings, turn left through a gate into a field. Follow track for 2 miles (3 km) to cross tracks. There are a few deep ruts, take care! At cross tracks, carry straight on gently downhill to gate onto tarmac road. (Take care when coming out onto road as there is a blind bend to your left). After passing through gate, turn right and follow tarmac road for 1/3 mile (550 m). As road bears to the right, take turning on left. Almost immediately, turn right uphill following another tarmac road. After 1/2 mile (810 m), the road starts to bear left. As it straightens out, turn sharply right passing Cefn-y-braich-uchaf Farm. (Warning: At second hen house is a feed silo that could start up without notice and could startle your horse). At fork, take left track going uphill. Follow track for 1/2 mile (810 m) to gate into open field. (Here you meet The Ceiriog Trail coming in from the other direction). Take the grass track diagonally across the field marked with reflector posts. 55 yds (50 m) before gate onto tarmac road, turn left onto the stony track.

  • Reading Wales in WG Sebald's Austerlitz
    On (Not) Reading Wales in W. G. Sebald’s Austerlitz (2001) Mererid Puw Davies, University College London This article explores representations of Wales in W. G. Sebald’s novel Austerlitz (2001). It considers why the novel’s passages on Wales have often evaded scholarship on Sebald’s writing to date, and ways in which Austerlitz may seem eccentric to Welsh critical canons too. The article places Austerlitz in intertextual relationships with the literatures and cultural history of Wales and so uncovers some of the novel’s hidden Welsh references. In alluding to Evan Morgan, 2nd Viscount Tredegar for example, Austerlitz simultaneously turns away from Welsh history and reveals it in unexpected ways. The novella also calls to mind the nineteenth- century preacher John Elias in a way which offers an unusual perspective on Sebald’s poetics of coincidence. The article suggests alternative critical contexts in which Sebald’s Wales becomes productively legible; put most globally, it is interested in the practice and rewards of non-metropolitan reading, relationships between the supposed centres and margins of literature and the ways in which they remain in perpetual (re-)negotiation. Keywords: Sebald, Austerlitz, Wales, Welsh, Gothic, Evan Morgan, John Elias, intertextuality, birds, names, uncanny, coincidence, reservoirs, non-metropolitan, Tryweryn, Vyrnwy 1 Introduction The last of W. G. Sebald’s (1944–2001) major works to be published during his lifetime was the long literary prose work Austerlitz (2001), in which a first-person narrator reports what the eponymous protagonist tells him of his life, in conversations spanning decades.1 Jacques Austerlitz came to Britain from Nazi-occupied Prague on a Kindertransport in 1939, aged four- and-a-half.

  • Teithwyr Ewropeaidd I Gymru, 1750–2010/ European Travellers to Wales, 1750–2010 Rita Singer School of Modern Languages, Bangor University, Bangor, UK
    Project report: Teithwyr Ewropeaidd i Gymru, 1750–2010/ European Travellers to Wales, 1750–2010 Rita Singer School of Modern Languages, Bangor University, Bangor, UK ABSTRACT For centuries, continental Europeans have come to Wales for numerous reasons. During the Romantic period some came seeking a rural idyll, whilst others in the Victorian era travelled as industrial spies, and during times of war many refugees escaped to Wales to find shelter from persecution. Not only have continental Europeans left their traces among the people of Wales settling here but they have also written extensively about their experiences in diaries, letters, books and magazines or novels. This project report showcases some of the recent findings from the AHRC- funded project ‘European Travellers to Wales, 1750–2010’ jointly undertaken by Bangor University, the University of Wales Centre for Advanced Welsh and Celtic Studies at Aberystwyth, and Swansea University. For centuries, continental Europeans have come to Wales for numerous reasons. During the Romantic period some arrived seeking a rural idyll, whilst others in the Victorian era travelled as industrial spies, and during times of war many refugees escaped to Wales to find shelter from persecution. Not only have continental Europeans left their traces among the people of Wales by way of immigration, but they have also written extensively about their travel experience in diaries, letters, books and magazines or, more recently, in blogs on the internet. Remarks on the nature of travelling in a foreign country, its people, the weather, town and country life, industrial enterprise, social endeavours or encounters with unfamiliar food are only a few of the topics found in these texts.
