About Library of Wales
The Library of Wales: for prize-fighters, lovers, poets, sportsmen, writers, railwaymen, miners, farmers, footballers, shopkeepers, messiahs, teachers, prostitutes, priests, philosophers, rogues... all in these pages.
The library has been created with Wales in mind and heart, a young country with all of the above and more.
“The Library of Wales will keep in print the English-language literature of Wales in ways that will connect our past to our present. It will be an essential tool in the self-understanding required to build an emergent Wales. The world will note how we now sustain our common memory through literature and will share in our riches.” — Dai Smith
“The Library of Wales is a great opportunity for us to celebrate our literary heritage. These books are not remote, academic studies, but works of popular interest that will appeal to readers on many different levels. The Library of Wales will revive interest in our literary classics as well as giving fresh impetus to promoting new English-language writing from Wales.” — Alun Pugh, Minister for Culture, Welsh Language and Sport
