Bonus post: The #German press about one of Richards's story collection that had been adapted into German.

TL;DR: "Thanks, I hate it."

For anyone interested in Romantic essays about Welsh #folklore, #antiquarian studies, #Gothic and short stories, #HistoricalFiction or early #Tasmanian writing, allow me to share my comprehensive bibliography of Thomas Richards (1800-1877), formerly of Dolgellau before emigrating to Hobart via London in the early 1830s. Wherever possible, I have linked to #OpenAccess digital copies of any of his writings that I have been able to trace. This is a work in progress, so I hope to share future updates of the bibliography.

Re-sharing for the weekend crowd. The official link to our lovely #OpenAccess collection, 'Minoritised Languages and Travel' in the Modern Languages Open journal.

https://modernlanguagesopen.org/collections/minoritised-languages-and-travel

This is a collection of 5 essays + introduction that explore frictions between traveller and travelee as well as the inherent instability of social, cultural and language hierarchies.

This leaves me with just my own #introduction to the whole special issue.

Abstract
This introduction to the MLO special issue “Minoritised Languages and Travel” provides an overview of the pieces in this collection in context with historical travel accounts in German about nineteenth-century Wales.

Happy reading, y'alls. (For convenience, I will later post the link to the complete bundle.)

The fifth article takes us again to #Wales with

The Picturesque and the Beastly: Wales and the Absence of Welsh in the Journals of Lady’s Companions Eliza and Millicent Bant (1806, 1808)
by Kathryn Walchester

Abstract
[...] The journals written by lady’s companions, Eliza and Millicent Bant, in 1806 and 1808 respectively, present a complicated view, one in which multifarious and often negative versions of Wales compete, but overall where linguistic otherness is not evident. [...] The Bant sisters’ lack of comprehension and their representation of its linguistic otherness is, I suggest, instead played out through a representation of Wales as complex, multifarious and impossible to comprehend. Wales is simultaneously “beastly” and “picturesque”, a place of industry and nature, beauty and squalor.

It's #TwmShonCatti Day today in Wales -- and I almost forgot, despite having produced a newly edited version of 'Wales's first truly Welsh novel' just a few years ago.

Happy hanging out in hidden caves and putting donkeys in the squire's bed day!
