Disgrifiad Saesneg / English Description

A gripping Gothic tale of possession, madness and murder, Hilda Vaughan's Harvest Home , first published in 1936, is set in 'Abercoran' on the south-west coast of Wales during the reign of George III. Outstanding in its lyrical evocation of a bygone Welsh rural life, Harvest Home is also a tautly-written psychological study of a man driven mad by desire.

Bywgraffiad yr Awdur / Author Biography

Hilda Vaughan (1892-1985) was born and raised in Builth Wells. During the First World War, she worked in a Red Cross hospital and as organising secretary of the Women's Land Army in Breconshire and Radnorshire. She married the novelist Charles Morgan in 1923 and they had a daughter and a son. Vaughan published ten novels, two plays and a number of short stories. Her work is distinguished by its lyrical yet realistic evocation of Welsh rural landscapes and customs, and by her incisive analysis of the politics of class, gender and nationality. This new edition of Harvest Home has an introduction by Diana Wallace, Professor of English Literature at the University of South Wales.
