Yr Hen Iaith (Lefel A): Y Gŵr sydd ar y Gorwel gan Gerallt Lloyd Owen

Literature

This episode focusses on Gerallt Lloyd Owen’s poem, ‘Y Gŵr sydd ar y Gorwel’. As well as scrutinising the poet’s craft, we explain the political context and consider why Gerallt Lloyd Owen approached Saunders Lewis in this way.

We note the significance of the word ‘horizon’ itself and suggest that this modern poem highlights some ancient aspects of the Welsh bardic tradition.
