Le Pays de Galles ressemble entièrement à la Suisse

J-J Rousseau

Cynhadledd undydd a fydd yn archwilio’r delweddau o Gymru a’r Alban a geir mewn llenyddiaeth daith o gyfandir Ewrop ac Iwerddon rhwng 1760 ac 1870. Beth oedd yn cymell teithwyr o Ffrainc, yr Almaen, y Swistir, a’r Iseldiroedd i fentro i’r cyrion Celtaidd? Pa mor ymwybodol oedd y teithwyr hyn o’r gwahaniaethau diwylliannol o fewn y Deyrnas Unedig? Beth yw’r ffynonellau a’r datblygiadau llenyddol a’u hysbrydolodd ac a ddylanwadodd ar eu profiad?
