Am y llyfr

Gwenlyn Parry oedd un o ddramodwyr Cymraeg pwysicaf yr ugeinfed ganrif, ac fe chwaraeodd ran fawr yn y broses o boblogeiddio drama theatr a drama deledu yn ystod y 1970au a’r 1980au. Yr astudiaeth hon yw’r drafodaeth estynedig Saesneg gyntaf ar ei fywyd a’i waith, ac eir ati i archwilio’r berthynas gymhleth sydd ar adegau’n baradocsaidd rhwng agweddau hunangofiannol ei ysgrifennu a’i ddefnydd o ffurf theatraidd.

Dyfyniadau

This book is a great success in introducing Gwenlyn Parry to a new audience: an audience which is not conversant with the original plays. One can only regret that it was not available in Welsh first, as there is only one full critical examination of Parry's work available in that language, Dewi Z. Phillips's Gwenlyn Parry. Roger Owen's is the most sophisticated critical guide to Gwenlyn Parry's work in any language, and it should be read by anyone - whether familiar with his work or not.
