One is in everything. One lives throughout the universe and beyond... One of the most remarkable women writers of the mid-twentieth century, Margiad Evans is a key post-modern Welsh author in the English language. Written as a series of nature journals, Margiad Evans' Autobiography (1943), is an extraordinary experiment in what she called 'earth writing'. It explores in delicate and precise detail the writer's intensely-felt, even mystical relationship with the natural world. From 1941, she lived in a farmworker's cottage, Potacre, on the summit of a hill above Llangarron and in sight of the Welsh mountains. A meditation on the difficulty of translating the reality of the 'now' into words, Autobiography traces a spiritual journey towards understanding the profound connection between all living things.
Margiad Evans - novelist, essayist, poet and writer of short stories, with a lifelong identification with the Welsh border country, Margiad Evans - the pseudonym of Peggy Eileen Whistler (1909-1958) - was one of the most remarkable women writers of the mid-twentieth century. She had published four novels and was known for her brilliant descriptions of the natural world. With a new scholarly introduction by Diana Wallace, Autobiography is the 33rd title published in the Honno Welsh Women's Classics Series.
