First panel of #awwe25 combines 18th-century scholarship with contemporary writing, featuring an array of talent: Mary-Anne Constantine, Liz Edwards, Emily Trahair and Julie Brominicks (who walked here).

No live #awwe25 coverage from me this morning; I’m chairing a panel comprising Tomos Owen on secrets in farming literature, Dally Roberts Jones on defining the Literatures of Wales, and Megan Jones on partial assimilation in Emyr Humphreys’ novels.

Had the most wonderful time at #awwe25. Have come away inspired, fulfilled, moved by good people and incredible papers, with new knowledge and lots of photos of beautiful Wales. Have been trying to go to #awwe conference for a few years now. Third time lucky. Diolch o galon.

‘Underscapes’ an inspired theme for #AWWE25 creating a more coherent conference than usual. Fine keynote, esp. on forms of hospitality, by @plashingvole.bsky.social and a subtly engaging reading by @durreshahwar.bsky.social among the highlights. Wynn Thomas on RS’s tragic vision profound + moving.

Having done my #AWWE25 bit earlier, I skipped the next session to be alone with my shame. Next up though is the launch of another Welsh Victorian republication from Honno: LM Spooner’s 1860 Country Landlords.
