Anotácia knihy

Caradoc Evans (1878-1945) was a controversial author, most famous for his stories in My People, copies of which were publicly burned in Cardiff. Stylistically inventive, the stories unflinchingly (and unflatteringly) criticised Edwardian Welsh society. The Western Mail called it “the literature of the sewer”. English reviewers claimed it was “a book of great literary merit” and “a triumph of art”. The response defined the rest of Evans’s literary career.

In Caradoc Evans: The Devil in EdenJohn Harris has written the definitive biography of Evans. Evans is revealed as a polemicist on issues like the rights of workers, the conduct of the Great War, and the status of women. A leading London journalist, Evans had a popular weekly column in which he responded to readers’ views in trenchant fashion.

As Harris argues, challenging convention was his life’s work. As well as exploring this controversy Harris shows that Evans was a political radical, a mover within London literary circles, a popular journalist and something of a philanderer. Extensively researched and brilliantly written, Caradoc Evans: The Devil in Eden is a revelatory and necessary insight into the man, his country and his times.
