βDyma glamp o lyfr iβw drysori syβn croniclo bywyd a gwaith Cranogwen fel un o herlodesi mwyaf dylanwadol Cymru β¦ gan grynhoi ei chyfraniad fel bardd, darlithydd, pregethwraig, ymgyrchydd a golygydd a chwalodd ragfarnau ei chyfnod.

βThis volume on the poet, womenβs magazine editor, international public lecturer and political campaigner Cranogwen is a masterclass on linking life and literature, and on presenting poetry in translation. It introduces one of the most charismatic figures of nineteenth-century Wales to an international audience. In lively prose, Jane Aaaron leads us from Cranogwenβs childhood in poverty-stricken seaside village Llangrannog to a poetic stardom doubted by male bards: we accompany Cranogwen on lecture tours in north America, campaign with her in the valleys of south Wales, and feel the love she shares with her woman β¦ in an elegant and multifaceted volume you will read again and again.β Dr Marion LΓΆffler, Reader in Welsh History and History, Cardiff University

This book looks fantastic. I shall be definitely getting a copy. Check it out #horror fans and scholars π #Horrorsky
As well as being a leading scholar in his field, Paul was excellent company; any meeting with him was always enjoyable and full of humour. He leaves behind an impressive body of work which has made an important contribution to the scholarly community. 2/2
Staff at UWP are saddened to learn of the death of Professor Paul Garner, Editor, with Professor David George, of UWPβs Iberian and Latin American Studies series. Having worked with Paul since the inception of the series, weβll miss the enthusiasm, knowledge and experience he brought the series. 1/2
