浪漫时期的威尔士是一个迷人的地方：一部分是文学建筑，一部分是旅游目的地，在许多作家的作品中，它都是政治和个人的另类可能性的所在地。威尔士的风景、语言和文学吸引了诗人、艺术家、古物学家和历史学家，威尔士充满活力的文学文化复兴产生了丰富的文本、传说和虚构，这将激励边境两侧的小说和历史创作者。这场复兴的核心是民族和文化忠诚的问题，这对当前关于“英国”身份的讨论具有深远的重要性，特别是在所谓的“四国”批评的背景下。本文认为，威尔士对英国浪漫主义的贡献一直被浪漫主义研究严重忽视。它指出了这种忽视的原因，调查了该领域的最新工作，并指出了未来可能的研究方向。
Romantic-period Wales was a fascinating place: part literary construct, part tourist destination, it appears in the work of many writers as a locus of alternative possibilities, both political and personal. Welsh landscape, language and literature attracted poets, artists, antiquarians and historians alike, and an energetic literary cultural revival within Wales produced a rich blend of texts, legends and fabrications which would inspire makers of both fiction and history on either side of the border. The questions of national and cultural allegiance at the heart of this revival are of profound importance to current discussions of ‘British’ identity, particularly in the light of so-called ‘four nations’ criticism. This article argues that the Welsh contribution to British Romanticism has been seriously neglected by Romantic studies in general. It suggests reasons for this neglect, surveys recent work in the field, and points to future possible directions for research.
