Taking in the history of Welsh writing in English from the legacy of the bardic tradition to contemporary experimental works, 'Abandon All Hope' introduces Welsh literature in a way it has never been presented before - as cutting edge, experimental, vibrant, exciting, intimate, and with a multitude of voices. This voyage into a uniquely Welsh Inferno offers a revolutionary new way to examine and explain literary history, traversing elements of chronology and genre, in a wide-ranging and, above all, highly entertaining manifesto for a new perception of Welsh literature both inside and outside of Wales.
