Yazar hakkında

Caradoc Evans (1878–1945) was a Welsh storyteller and playwright, considered one of the most controversial and pioneering figures in Welsh literature. Born on December 31, 1878, in Rhydlewis, Ceredigion, to a poor family, Evans moved to London in his youth, where he worked as a draper’s apprentice and later as a journalist. His literary career is chiefly remembered for its stark departure from the romanticized depictions of rural Wales, choosing instead to portray the darker, more realistic aspects of Welsh rural life.
His seminal work, ‘My Neighbors’ (1915), is a collection of short stories that stands as a testament to his unique literary style. Groundbreaking for its time, Evan’s prose laid bare the harshness and narrow-mindedness of the rural Welsh communities, eschewing the idyllic for acerbic social commentary. This led to Evans being branded a traitor to his people by some, while others hailed him as a fearless truth-teller. Despite this polarized reception, ‘My Neighbors’ has earned a permanent place in the annals of Welsh literature for its penetrating insights and uncompromising realism. His narrative voice, characterized by its cynicism and critical tone, paved the way for future generations of Welsh writers. Evans’s work remains a subject of study for its significant impact on the modernist movement within Welsh writing and for his bold challenge to the traditional narrative forms of his time.
