Professor Wyn James

Emeritus Professor

: Welsh speaking

I am originally from Troed-y-rhiw near Merthyr Tydfil. I graduated in Welsh at Aberystwyth in 1972. After a period as a Research Officer at Aberystwyth University's Department of Education and as Deputy Warden of Pantycelyn Hall of Residence, I spent seventeen years as Director of the Evangelical Press of Wales.

I was appointed Lecturer in Modern Welsh Literature at the School of Welsh, Cardiff University in 1994, and remained a member of staff at the School of Welsh until I retired in 2015. I was awarded a Personal Chair by Cardiff University in 2013 and made Emeritus Professor after I retired. I was also from 2002 until my retirement co-Director of Cardiff University's Centre for Welsh American Studies.

I publish regularly and frequently receive invitations to lecture and broadcast. My research has focused primarily on the hymn, the ballad and folk-songs; the Welsh-language culture of south-east Wales; women writers; the history of printing and publishing; the movement to abolish slavery; and the Welsh Settlement in Patagonia.

I have published extensively on various aspects of Welsh literature, history and culture from Tudor times to the present day. I have also regularly received invitations over the years to lecture to various societies, both local, national and international, and to contribute to radio and television programmes.

My research focuses particularly on areas relating to Christianity, identity, folk culture, women writers, textual criticism and the history of the book.

A subject that has received much of my attention over many years is the hymn. I was awarded a doctorate in 1998 for an edition of the hymns of Ann Griffiths and the ground-breaking website, 'Ann Griffiths Website', was created under my editorship in 2003. Other forms of popular singing, such as the ballad and folk-songs, have also been particular areas of research.

I have also researched into many aspects of the Welsh-language culture of south-east Wales, and for some years I have contributed a regular column on the history of Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan to Y Dinesydd, the Welsh-medium monthly community newspaper for Cardiff and and the Vale.

In the context of the Cardiff Centre for Welsh American Studies, my research has focused particularly on the movement to abolish slavery and on the history of the Welsh Settlement in Patagonia.

Over the years I taught on a range of modules relating to Welsh culture, literature and religion in the modern period (from the sixteenth century to the present day), both at undergraduate and postgraduate level. I also supervised a number of postgraduate theses.
