Zusammenfassung:"Caradoc Evans (1878-1945) was a controversial author, most famous for his stories in My People, copies of which were publicly burned in Cardiff. In Caradoc Evans: The Devil in Eden John Harris has written the definitive biography of Evans. He investigates what lay behind the writing, and its impact on Wales and beyond. Evans is also 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."--Provided by publisher
