Get ready to journey through the Welsh Literary Renaissance (1750–1900)! In this talk, Dai discusses the advances in education and literacy of the 18th Century and the new modes of expression that these changes afforded our ancestors.
Be it the poetry of the bards or the histories of the antiquarians, the literature of this period is intertwined with family and can be used to smash brick walls in your family tree and deepen your understanding of your ancestors’ lives.
This talk also comes with an accessible, 30-page language booklet for non-Welsh speakers to help you pull biographical information out of Welsh-language sources!
