Growing up in comfort as the daughter of a railway engineer, she never married and eventually managed her brother Charles’s household following the death of his wife. Between 1858 and 1868, Spooner published three novels which were inspired by the history, culture and geography of her home county, Meirionydd. The Cambrian Journal praised her debut, the historical novel Gladys of Harlech, for ‘its true spirit of patriotism’ and applauded the author’s ‘not inconsiderable skill and power’.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\u003csection\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAdolygiad y Cyhoeddwr \/ Publisher Review\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe young lovers Gertrude Fitzhammons and Anarawd Gwynne are caught between their fathers’ mutual antagonism. Eventually, Gertrudes’ adoptive father, the retired sea captain Ricardo Lewis, is forced to flee Britain due to the machinations of old squire Gwynne and Lewis’s mortal enemy, Lord Morlif. At the same time, Anarawd is sent abroad in the hope that he forgets his sweetheart. After several years apart, their separate fates lead them to meet again in Naples during the spring revolutions of 1848. After Lewis’s betrayal to his death on the republican barricades, a broken-hearted Gertrude returns to her Welsh home. Will Anarawd follow her or seek his fortune abroad in the British Army? Loosely inspired by social and agricultural advancements in the district around the author’s home in Porthmadog, Country Landlords (1860) looks at the relationship between the landed gentry and ordinary country population in the early nineteenth-century. • An informative introduction contextualizes Louisa Matilda Spooner’s life and writings. • The first republication of this novel since 1860, following on from the successful Honno republication of Spooner’s first novel, Gladys of Harlech in 2017. • A social novel in the style of a romance inspired by the villages and landed estates of rural west Wales and their links with the wider world. Edited by Rita Singer who has an interest in nineteenth-century Wales, including historical novels and short fiction by neglected Welsh authors that engage with questions of gender and nationhood. She has written about T. J. Llewelyn Prichard, Thomas Richards, Louisa Matilda Spooner, Amy Dillwyn and Allen Raine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Cyngor Llyfrau Cymru","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58821354684790,"sku":"9781916821149","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0041\/5340\/9585\/files\/9781916821149_be084491-c376-4bb1-b88d-6cf07881b378.jpg?v=1790367039","url":"https:\/\/www.siopypentan.co.uk\/products\/welsh-women-s-classics-country-landlords-37th-in-the-welsh-women-s-classics-series-9781916821149","provider":"Siop Y Pentan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
