Title: Welsh Revivalism in Imperial Britain, 1707-1819: True Britons and Celtic Empires Keynote: Reframes the study of Welsh cultural revivalism, highlighting transnational and imperial contexts. Blurb: In the long eighteenth century, as Britain grappled with the aftermath of the 1707 Acts of Union and consolidated a global empire, Welsh ‘Cambro-Britons’ developed a movement of cultural awakening, reinventing their traditions for a new age. Amid profound local, national, and imperial transformations, Welsh authors and activists sought to reimagine their history, language, and literature, claiming a place for Wales and the Welsh diaspora in the British imperial order. Far from being an insular phenomenon, this revival intersected with key debates of the era, from enlightenment science and radical politics to colonial expansion, transatlantic abolitionism, and metropolitan sociability. This study reframes Welsh cultural revivalism, revealing its fundamentally international and archipelagic dimensions. Nationally significant Welsh authors like Lewis Morris, David Samwell, Thomas Pennant, and Iolo Morganwg are placed in their transnational, imperial, and global contexts. Examined alongside Thomas Gray’s British bardism, William Jones’s Orientalism, and the imperialism of Cook’s voyages, their writings demonstrate how Welsh thinkers engaged with—and shaped—shifting ideas of Britishness, empire, race, and identity. Drawing on new archival research, and giving equal attention to Welsh- and English-language texts, Rhys Kaminski-Jones challenges traditional narratives of Welsh cultural nationalism as a simple precursor to modern Welsh nationhood, instead positioning the revival as central to transatlantic intellectual currents. With its pathbreaking bilingual and interdisciplinary approach, this book offers fresh insights into the complexities of nationhood, empire, and cultural memory.

My book manuscript has officially been sent to production with @boydellandbrewer.bsky.social, expected in August 2025.

Finalised blurb below, looking forward to having you read this thing!
