Abstract

This 10,000 word essay represents original archival research and offers new insights into the understanding of the structure and activity of bardic and correspondence networks in eighteenth-century Wales and London, specifically within the context of associational culture. Using new archival material, it focuses on the Eisteddfodau sponsored by the Gwyneddigion Society in the 1790s as a locus of cultural connectivity and also explores the dynamics of regional, national and state identities played out in the associational culture of the London-Welsh societies.
