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.
' ... strategic and comprehensive in scope ... a welcome contribution in an importantly different direction.' (English) '... brilliantly succeeds in re-placing the reader in the radical writing community of Woodsworth, Coleridge, Thelwall, David Williams and Iolo Morganwg ...' (Coleridge Bulletin) ' ... strategic and comprehensive in scope... Walford Davies's book is a welcome contribution in an importantly different direction... ' (English )
