- As editor of this volume, Rhys Kaminski-Jones (RKJ) was wholly responsible for overseeing aspects of the project that related to Celtic Studies and British identity formation, with the co-editor Francesca Kaminski-Jones (FKJ) overseeing elements that related directly to Classical reception studies. RKJ’s initial responsibilities included recruiting and corresponding with relevant authors (including Alex Woolf, Michael Bintley, Helen Fulton, Philip Schwyzer, Mary-Ann Constantine, and M. Pía Coira)—work that arose in part from his co-organisation of the conference on which the volume was based—and assisting authors who were Classical specialists with research suggestions from within his area of expertise.
RKJ was also the primary author of the book proposal and the volume’s chapter-length introduction (pp. 1–18), which defined the project’s research questions and its specific contribution to knowledge. The introduction also sets out an original interdisciplinary argument about the under-acknowledged ways in which the Celtic and the Classical reflect one another as concepts, and details submerged similarities that connect the disciplines of Celtic and Classical studies. Co-editor FKJ contributed reading suggestions and subject-related knowledge to the introduction.
During the post-commission writing process, RKJ contributed substantially to Edith Hall’s chapter by preparing synopses and translations of various Welsh-language texts that the author was unable to read herself, including the translation/synopsis of Beriah Gwynfe Evans’s play Caradog (1904) that was eventually included in the volume as an appendix (pp. 223–8). RKJ also contributed two paragraphs to Hall’s chapter concerning the sources of Evans’ play and its Welsh literary context (pp. 150–1). During the later editing process, RKJ was responsible for maintaining the volume’s intellectual and argumentative coherence (i.e. liaising with authors about major changes required in early drafts), overseeing changes to the volume requested after peer review, and for stylistic editing and fact-checking.
