- Double-weighted statement
- This is the record of a quarter-century's immensely wide-ranging research into the relationship between the two literatures of Wales from the seventeenth to the twentieth century. It utilises discourses and paradigms appropriate for exploring the culture of religion, translation practice, psychoanalytical theory, inter-cultural influence and exchange, the cultural politics of periodical production, cultural appropriations, and reception practice between Wales and Europe and Wales and the USA. It is therefore complex and multi-layered in character and ground-breaking in its exploration of the complex socio-cultural character of a bicultural country.

- English abstract
- Wales made whole: healing the breach between its two literatures. The record of twenty-five years of research, this is a multicultural and multi-perspectival study of the cultures of Wales from the seventeenth to the twenty-first century. Subjects addressed include the origins in Dissent of the image of the Welsh as a Nonconformist people, cultural variants of Euro-Welshness, creative conversations between Wales’s two languages, the fashioning of a modern classic out of the cross-fertilisation of two cultures, work at the interface between literature and politics, and studies of individual writers, including Vernon Watkins.
