Double-weighted statement

This book is based on detailed knowledge of two literary (Welsh and African American) traditions and engages extensively with Welsh and English language sources. Chapter 1 relies on extensive readings in slave narratives and the Welsh periodical press. Chapters 2 and 3 draw on research carried out at the the Schomburg Institute (Harlem) and the National Library of Wales. Chapter 4 draws on research in the Ralph Ellison Archive at the Library of Congress. The volume’s underlying thesis is complex, for it aims to develop a methodology allowing for the comparative analysis of two very different (but related) cultural contexts.
