Writing Britain’s Ruins

Description

Cyfrol ddarluniadol newydd sy’n olrhain y modd y troes detholiad o adfeilion Albanaidd, Cymreig, Gwyddelig a Seisnig yn wrthrychau myfyrdod diwylliannol rhwng 1700 a 1850. Tynnir ynghyd draethodau sy’n adlewyrchu’r ymatebion hynafiaethol, barddonol, gweledol, llafar, ffuglennol, dramatig, gwleidyddol, cyfreithiol a theithiol a ennynwyd ganddynt.
This new illustrated book traces the ways in which a selection of English, Scottish, Welsh and Irish ruins served as the objects of continuous cultural reflection between 1700 and 1850, drawing together essays on the antiquarian, poetic, visual, oral, fictional, dramatic, political, legal and touristic responses that they engendered.
