Association of Welsh Writing in English

 

The Association originated in 1984 when individuals from five of the colleges of the University of Wales (Aberystwyth, Bangor, Cardiff, Lampeter and Swansea) met at Swansea to discuss the establishing of an organisation to promote the study of Welsh writing in English. The work of the association includes several important series of publications and an annual conference featuring contributions from scholars from the USA, Scotland, England, Ireland as well as Wales. Membership of AWWE is open to all. The AWWE publishes a peer reviewed Yearbook of Welsh writing in English, Almanac, which is published by Parthian Books.
