Presences That Disturb

Disgrifiad

This work looks at the impact of five “archetypal” figures on literature and culture of the 1790s in Britain. The figures covered are: Tewdrig, the hermit-king; Vortigen, the Dark-Age traitor, the Polish General Kosciusko; Iolo Morganwg; and the Jacobin demagogue John Thelwall.
