Description: Gwenlyn Parry was one of the most important Welsh-language playwrights of the 20th century and played a key role in the popularisation and flourishing of drama in theatre and on television during the 1970s and 1980s. This study is an extended treatment of his life and work in English, and examines the complex and occasionally paradoxical relationship between the autobiographical aspects of his writing and his use of theatrical form.
