Inhaltsangabe

Set during the Wars of the Roses in the fifteenth century, Gladys of Harlech tells the story of the granddaughter of the last Welsh keeper of Harlech Castle. Fighting on the side of the House of Lancaster, Gladys and her family flee into hiding in the mountains after the castle falls into the hands of the rival Yorkists at the end of a long siege. Years later, Gladys is captured and pressed into serfdom by the new English keeper. Gladys falls in love with a young English nobleman but finds herself torn between her affection for him and her sense of duty to her oppressed people.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Rita Singer is a researcher with a special interest in Welsh writing in English during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. She received her PhD from Leipzig University where she also taught seminars on literature and films from Wales. Louisa Matilda Spooner (1820-1886) was born in Maentwrog, the fifth of ten children, to English parents. The Cambrian Journal praised her first novel, Gladys of Harlech, for its ‘true spirit of patriotism’ at a time when few novels were ‘illustrative of Welsh manners and customs, that a genuine Cymro could for a moment tolerate’.
