This voyage into a uniquely Welsh Inferno offers a revolutionary new way to examine and explain literary history, traversing elements of chronology and genre, in a wide-ranging and, above all, highly entertaining manifesto for a new perception of Welsh literature both inside and outside of Wales.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Griffin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42662179045420,"sku":"9781915279262","price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0379\/1365\/7388\/files\/9781915279262.jpg?v=1759660910","url":"https:\/\/www.griffinbooksonline.live\/products\/9781915279262","provider":"Griffin Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
