Very interesting - though perhaps it underplays the attitude of many of
the Welsh writers in the earlier years. When I became Secretary of the
English Language Section of Yr Academi Gymreig in 1968 I was told more
or less, `They`ve let you have your corner, but know your place and
don`t bother them` - `them` being the Welsh Section, In practice I
already knew quite a few of our fellow writers in other contexts, and
in 1969 we joined together to organise that year`s Taliesin Congress for
all the Celtic nations. One of the highlights of my life came a few
years later when at Lampeter Harri Webb gave a (Welsh language) lecture
to the Welsh Section at their annual conference, to an audience
including Saunders Lewis and Hugh McDiarmid in the front row.
