Brethyn Cartref

Our friends at Cwmulus invite you to listen in to their next on-line talk, by Dr Pat Williams at 7:00pm on Friday 5 September. The talk is in Welsh, without a simultaneous translation, but we have been advised that experienced Welsh learners should be able to follow it.

Cloth and clothing have been integral to the life of every person since civilisation began. Cloth production and international trade constituted a major sector of the economy of medieval Britain. The aim of this talk is to show how dress was used by authors to help their targeted audience to identify the status and function of some of the characters portrayed in their stories. Dr Williams’ main field of research is the language and literature of the Middle Ages and she has published numerous articles and books about Middle Welsh texts.
