Dyma un o'r meysydd rhyng-ddisgyblaethol newydd i ymddangos yn ddiweddar ym myd astudiaethau llenyddol a diwylliannol.

'Matthew Jarvis's excellent Welsh Environments in Contemporary Poetry may be regarded as a contribution to the recent and welcome geographical/spatial trend in criticism of literature from Wales. We are very fortunate that a young critic of Matthew Jarvis's caliber should have elected a Welsh identity and habitation. He is among a new generation now following in the footsteps of critics like Roland Mathias, Tony Conran and M. Wynn Thomas, and is taking the path of poetry criticism in a new and interesting direction'. - Katie Gramich, New Welsh Review, No. 83
