Download date: 30. Sep. 2021 English Translations of Daniel Owen 1888–2010: Nation, Canon and Welsh-English Cultural Relations Adam Pearce Bangor University A thesis submitted to Bangor University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 1 Summary In this thesis, I analyse four English translations of the novels of Victorian Welsh- language novelist Daniel Owen from a variety of postcolonial and Translation Studies perspectives. Drawing on recent theories in Translations Studies and Welsh cultural studies, I suggest that translations of Owen’s work have been undertaken as part of a variety of political and cultural agendas. These often interrelated agendas have included attempts to reinvent the idea of the Welsh nation, attempts to reinforce and/or rehabilitate the reputation of Daniel Owen as a canonical author in the Welsh-language literary canon, and attempts to either inspire the tradition of Welsh Writing in English, or to distance that practice from Welsh-English translation. In presenting these arguments, I suggest that the role of Welsh-English translation in Welsh cultural history over the late nineteenth to twenty-first centuries has been underappreciated, and that it has in fact been central to processes of cultural and national re-imagination in Wales over this period. 2 Contents Note to the reader 5 Acknowledgements 6 Declaration and Consent 8 Chapter 1: Introduction 1.1 Opening statements, research questions 12 1.2 Critical debates in Welsh-English translation 18 1.3 Translation and (post)colonial discourse in Wales 31 1.4 Translation and the Welsh-language literary canon 56 1.5 Welsh-English translation and the English-language literature of Wales 66 1.6 Chapter outlines 77 Chapter 2: Daniel Owen: His work, its translations and reputation 2.1 Introduction: Poor writer, great novelist? 89 2.2 The state of the novel in Victorian Wales 98 2.3 Daniel Owen the translator 117 2.4 Daniel Owen’s novels 121 2.5 Daniel Owen’s afterlives: Adaptations and editions 140 2.6 Daniel Owen’s afterlives: Translations 146 3 Chapter 3: Owen’s Rhys Lewis: Translation as Nationalist Activism 3.1 Introduction: Translation and nationalism in nineteenth-century Wales 154 3.2 Rhys Lewis: A nationalist’s novel? 160 3.3 Rhys Lewis, Minister of Bethel: An autobiography: Contexts 170 3.4 Textual analysis of Rhys Lewis, Minister of Bethel: An Autobiography 186 3.5 Conclusions 199 Chapter 4: Re-inventing the classics through translation: Gwen Tomos 4.1 Introduction: Welsh nationalism in the 1960s 203 4.2 Gwen Tomos in the Twentieth Century: Thomas Parry’s abridged edition 211 4.3 Gwen Tomos in English: Re-imagining Daniel Owen 221 4.4 Language and nation in the English Gwen Tomos 229 4.5 Conclusions 242 Chapter 5: Profedigaethau Enoc Huws: Retranslation, canon and the English-language literature of Wales 5.1 Introduction: Retranslation in Wales 248 5.2 Enoc Huws: Daniel Owen’s most English novel? 252 5.3 Claud Vivian’s Enoch Hughes: Translation as inspiration 260 5.4 The Trials of Enoc Huws: Retranslating the ‘classic’ 276 5.5 Conclusions 291 Chapter 6: Conclusions 294 Bibliography 304 4 Note to the reader This thesis is written in English but contains quotations from texts and translations originally written in both Welsh and English. Where an English translation of a specific text is already available, e.g. the English versions of Thomas Parry’s Hanes Llenyddiaeth Gymraeg hyd 1900, John Davies’ Hanes Cymru and Meic Stephens’ Cydymaith i Lenyddiaeth Cymru, I have quoted from that instead of the Welsh version. Where (to my knowledge) no English translation exists of a text, I have quoted the original Welsh, followed by a close English translation by my own hand. In cases where I wish to draw attention to the differences betewen the Welsh original and an English translation, I will usually quote the original first, followed by a close translation which emphasises the strict letter of the original, followed by a quotation from the English translation. Translations from the Welsh which are not credited to another hand in the text of the thesis and/or the bibliography are my own. Quotations from some older Welsh-language texts sometimes exhibit spelling or grammatical errors, a mark of a time when the language had yet to be standardised. I have, to the best of my ability, reproduced these and indicated (with [sic]) where this is the case. 5 Acknowledgements I would like to thank Bangor University for part-funding this project. I am extraordinarily grateful to my supervisor Dr. Helena Miguélez-Carballeira for proposing this work in the first place, and for her constant assistance at every stage of the project, from the initial research to reading successive drafts of the finished work. Grazas! I would also like to thank my co-supervisor Dr. Angharad Price for her continued support and enthusiasm for the project, for directing me to useful articles and for proof- reading my work. Diolch yn fawr. Thanks to every individual and group who helped me at any point with my research, regardless of the size of the contribution. A particular thanks is due to John Mainwaring at Brown Cow for answering my questions, and for giving me the opportunity to work with the Daniel Owen project; to Les Barker for answering my questions about his own translation; Mold Library for providing the scans of the Vivian translation (via John Mainwaring); Charles Vivian for answering my questions about his ancestors; Robert Rhys for answering some questions about his biography of Owen; to Sarah Skripsky (nee Yoder) for sending me a copy of her Ph.D thesis on 19th-century Welsh periodicals; to Rebecca Butler for translating some Irish for me; to Bangor University’s Theatre of Thoughts reading group for helping me understand some theoretical concepts in translation and literature; and to wife and my family for their support, especially my 6 parents and grandparents, for proof-reading this thesis; as well as to anyone else who contributed, in however small a way. Diolch yn fawr iawn i chi gyd! Lastly, I owe a considerable debt to my secondary school Welsh teacher, Meleri Jones, who some time around 2003 handed me a copy of Enoc Huws and suggested I might enjoy it. Unknowingly, she set in motion a fascination with Daniel Owen that will persist with me throughout my life. 7 Declaration and Consent Details of the Work I hereby agree to deposit the following item in the digital repository maintained by Bangor University and/or in any other repository authorized for use by Bangor University.

    Environment template (REF5) Institution: Swansea University: Prifysgol Abertawe Unit of Assessment: 28b - Modern Languages and Linguistics (Celtic Studies) a. Overview Staff included in this Unit of Assessment are based within Academi Hywel Teifi or affiliated to it. Established in 2010, it champions the Welsh language throughout the University and includes the Welsh for Adults Centre for south-west Wales and the former Department of Welsh. The research of the Unit specifically focuses on three fields in relation to the Welsh language: its literature, its cultural media and applied linguistics, with more staff currently involved in the first field. The Unit is supported in all activities by the wider structures of the College of Arts and Humanities (COAH). COAH is home to the Research Institute for Arts and Humanities (RIAH) and its Graduate Centre. COAH’s large team of nine staff – director, assistant director, research and administrative officers – support Academi researchers and postgraduates. Two members of the Academi sit on its Management Board and the College’s Research committee. A member of the Academi currently directs the Graduate Centre. Since RAE 2008, these new structures have dramatically transformed the research environment of Welsh and Welsh studies at Swansea for the better. The Unit runs its own seminar series, Seminar y Gymraeg, organised by Academi Hywel Teifi and attended by colleagues from several departments. In addition to Seminar y Gymraeg, our researchers within the Unit are active members of other COAH interdisciplinary research centres and groups, including the Centre for Research into the English Language and Literature of Wales (CREW) and the Language Research Centre (LRC), and attend events with a Celtic Studies theme at other centres such as the Centre for Medieval and Early Modern Research (MEMO).

  • THE BATTLE of BARDI a U RING the 2Nd January General Mackay
    CHAPTER 8 THE BATTLE OF BARDI A U RING the 2nd January General Mackay visited each of the six attack- D ing battalions . Outwardly he was the most calm among the leaders, yet it was probably only he and the other soldiers in the division who ha d taken part in setpiece attacks in France in the previous war who realise d to the full the mishaps that could befall a night attack on a narrow fron t unless it was carried out with clock-like precision and unfailing dash . The younger leaders were excited, but determined that in their first battle the y should not fail . To one of them it was like "the feeling before an exam" . Afterwards their letters and comments revealed how sharply consciou s many of them were that this was the test of their equality with "the old A.I.F." in which their fathers had served, and which, for them, was the sole founder of Australian military tradition. "Tonight is the night," wrote the diarist of the 16th Brigade . `By this time tomorrow (1700 hrs) the fate of Bardia should be sealed. Everyone is happy, expectant, eager . Old timers say the spirit is the same as in th e last war. Each truck-load was singing as we drove to the assembly point i n the moonlight . All ranks carried a rum issue against the bleak morning . At 1930 hrs we passed the `I' tanks, against the sky-line like a fleet o f battle-cruisers, pennants flying . Infantry moving up all night, rugged , jesting, moon-etched against the darker background of no-man's land .
