In Search of the Last Bard – The Life & Legacy of Edward Evan (1716-1798)

Description

Mae’r llyfr hwn, am y tro cyntaf, yn dwyn sylw at Edward Evan o Aberdâr. Roedd yn fardd a gweinidog, ffermwr, cerddor, cymydog a thad, a chwmpasodd ei fywyd hir gyfnod o newid deallusol ac economaidd, yn arbennig y diwydiannu mawr yn y cymoedd yn y ganrif ddilynol.
This book, for the first time, brings Edward Evan of Aberdare fully into view. Poet and minister, farmer, musician, neighbour, husband, father, his long life spanned a period of intellectual and economic change whose impact would come into dizzying effect with the massive industrialization of the valleys in the following century.
