Description:
This book, richly illustrated in colour, takes you into the mind and its workings of a brilliant author with a truly passionate spirit. Chris Barber includes correspondence and recorded conversations with Alexander Cordell, which for the first time show us the inner workings of the mind of a creative genius.
Chris Barber demonstrates how truly great novels can only be created when there is a foundation stone of love and empathy for the characters concerned. He takes the reader on a journey through the historical background to the novels: ‘Rape of the Fair Country’, ‘The Hosts of Rebecca’, ‘Song of the Earth’, ‘This Proud and Savage Land’, and ‘Requiem for a Patriot’.
The book concludes with a summary of developments such as the performance of radio and stage p;lays, the creation of ‘Cordell Country’ and the Blaenafon Industrial Landscape World Heritage Site. It will prove indispensable to those who wish to gain a deeper understanding of Alexander Cordell’s work.
