Wales and the French Revolution
Lead Research Organisation:

Department Name: Centre for Adv. Welsh and Celtic Studies
Abstract
The French Revolution of 1789 was the defining event of the Romantic period in Europe. It unsettled not only the ordering of society but language and thought itself: its effects were profound and long-lasting. Over the last twenty years, scholarship in this area has radically changed our understanding of the impact of the Revolution and its aftermath on British and European culture. In literature, as critical attention has shifted from a handful of major poets to the non-canonical 'edges', we can now see how the works of women writers, self-educated writers, radical pamphleteers, religious enthusiasts and loyalist propagandists both shaped and were shaped by the language and ideas of the period. Yet surprising gaps remain. Even recent studies of the 'British' reaction to the Revolution are under-informed about responses from the regions, and Wales is particularly poorly served. The reasons for this are complex, but it is clear that many researchers working in this period are simply unaware of the kinds of sources available for comparative study.
At the time of the 1801 census the vast majority of people living in Wales spoke no English: eighteenth-century Wales, in other words, retained a markedly distinct cultural and linguistic identity. How, then, did the events in Europe and the British reaction to them come to be known and felt throughout the different levels of Welsh society? In what ways did Welsh responses differ from those in Scotland, Ireland or London? This project will explore these questions through a wide-ranging series of edited texts, chosen to reflect the dramatic increase in diversity and abundance of Welsh literature during the period 1790-1815. The volumes will be organized principally by genre (poetry, sermons, letters, and so on) and each volume will provide an in-depth critical introduction situating the material in its historical and literary context. An additional collection of essays, both literary and historical, by experts from inside and outside Wales will further explore the subject across a wide range of genres and themes (e.g. the presence of America, the role of translation, the London-Welsh networks). The on-going work of the project will be presented to the wider academic community by means of an international conference, and to the general public through a dedicated website.
The research team will be led by an investigator with ten years' experience in the field of European Romanticism; she has recently headed a five-year project on the Welsh Romantic forger and radical, Iolo Morganwg. Her co-investigator is an eminent historian of Wales, who has, over three decades, published widely on the period. A strong advisory panel will include scholars with expertise in Welsh history and literature and leading writers on British Romanticism from outside Wales. Towards the end of the project a technical consultant will assist the team in presenting the results of their work in web form.
From ballads and pamphlets to personal letters and prize-winning poems, essays, journals, sermons and satires, the range of texts covered by our project will make it a stimulating reflection of the complexity of the period. The Wales we expect to emerge from this study will be neither purely radical nor purely loyalist; neither exclusively Welsh nor yet wholly British. The implications of this work, moreover, go well beyond the immediate 'Four Nations' context of the British response to the Revolution. Our findings will provide further much-needed material for ongoing international research into the subtle interactions of regional, national and international constructions of identity during this extraordinarily formative period of European history.

| Title | Chwyldro! Revolution! |
| Description | A fully bilingual exhibition which showcased work from the project by exploring the roots of public political discourse in Wales. Letters, songs, pamphlets, books and pictures from the archives at NLW voices expressed a variety of responses to political events from the 1790s to the present day. The exhibition was jointly organized by the National Library of Wales Political Archive and the University of Wales Centre for Advanced Welsh and Celtic Studies, drawing on work from from the AHRC-funded Wales and the French Revolution project. It was held for 4 weeks in the Pierhead Building next door to the Welsh Assembly in Cardiff Bay and was open to the public. |
| Type Of Art | Artistic/Creative Exhibition |
| Year Produced | 2016 |
| Impact | It was suggested by one visitor that the exhibition panels be turned into a booklet for use by schools across Wales. We are currently exploring this possibility. |

| Title | Iolo novel |
| Description | A novel by Gareth Thomas based on the life of Iolo Morganwg, and drawing directly on the project's publications, was published by Y Lolfa Press in 2018 |
| Type Of Art | Creative Writing |
| Year Produced | 2018 |
| Impact | Raised profile of key figure in 1790s Wales |
| Title | Voices from 1790s Wales, performance/readings |
| Description | An evening of staged readings telling the story of 1790s Wales through writers' own words. |
| Type Of Art | Performance (Music, Dance, Drama, etc) |
| Year Produced | 2012 |
| Impact | This event tested the concept of using original, 1790s written voices as a vehicle for telling the history of the period. A radio version of the same concept, provisionally titled 'Voices from a Dangerous Decade', is currently in the planning stages. |

| Description | The Wales and the French Revolution Project has, over the last four years, uncovered a huge amount of new and little-known material relating to one of the most exciting periods in European history. We have shown how people in Wales responded in a variety of ways to the 1789 Revolution in France and to the fierce debate it sparked in Britain, right across the political spectrum, in both Welsh and in English. Publications from the project (seven volumes of texts and criticism to date, and many articles) have made these texts fully accessible to non-Welsh speaking audiences for the first time, allowing a far more nuanced historical and literary understanding of what it might mean to be 'British' at this period of international conflict. We have discussed and presented our work to a wide range of audiences throughout Wales, Britain and abroad. We have edited and translated poems, printed ballads, newspaper reports, letters and journals; visual culture has also received attention. Further volumes in press and in progress will present anthologies of letters, a folk-play, political pamphlets, travel writing and translations all exploring the same revolutionary period. The series has already been welcomed by Literature and History Departments keen to emphasize a Four Nations / devolved approach to narratives of British history. The importance of translation, of the transfer of knowledge and ideas between languages and social groups has been a key finding. The project has also helped to open up the field of late eighteenth-century Welsh literature to a far wider range of texts - in both languages - than have traditionally been studied on university syllabuses. It has played a key part in taking the study of 'Welsh Writing in English' back beyond its traditionally twentieth century focus. Throughout the project, we have stressed the importance of a holistic, interdisciplinary, fully bilingual approach to this material. Our website (in progress) presents some of our key findings, with extracts from texts, sound bites, and visuals. |
| Exploitation Route | The series has considerable potential in the teaching of history generally. We have ensured that the volumes are reasonably priced, and not beyond the reach of schools, local history societies etc. Several members of the project have taken part in radio and television programmes in Welsh and English discussing aspects of their work. We have also supported the new Richard Price Society in Llangeinor, Bridgend, which aims to promote local knowledge of the radical minister and philosopher Richard Price (1723-1791). 2021: Recent collaborative work on an EDRF funded project led by University College Cork, 'Ports, Past and Present', in which CAWCS is a partner, has brought a new community context to our research into the impact of the French Revolution in Welsh port towns Fishguard, Pembroke Dock and Holyhead. We are currently planning new ways of making our research accessible and useful to heritage and tourism bodies in these towns. |

| Description | Our publications have been used in the teaching of A-level History in Wales (the French Revolution is currently a topic on Welsh Joint Education Council syllabus): the wide variety of texts have provided a welcome addition to teaching resources. The series has also been included in undergraduate reading lists in C18th studies at York and Glasgow - thus enhancing awareness of the diversity of British culture in the period. We have also reached a wider audience in our support for the Richard Price Society; by attending, speaking, and by working closely with the author, an amateur historian, of a biography of Price which is due out as part of our series in 2015. We hope to develop political interest in Price and his ideas within the Welsh Assembly. In September 2016 we co-organized an exhibition with the National Library of Wales in the Pierhead Building, Cardiff Bay, next to the National Assembly: our sponsor and invited guest was Elin Jones AM, currently Speaker of the House. Since 2019 we have been working closely with the French Invasion Centre Trust in Fishguard, a body which seeks to promote understanding of the 1797 French landings. WE have contributed talks and creative events, and have leaned a great deal from local historians and property owners. We see exciting potential in this collaboration for impact and engagement in the future. Members of the project have taken part in radio and television programmes discussing different aspects of their work in Welsh and English. Advice was given to the author of a novel based on a key radical figure of 1790s Wales, Edward Williams (Iolo Morganwg). The author has generously acknowledged the help of project publications and project members and the novel is due out in autumn 2017. |
