Ron Berry [1920-97] is one of the most remarkably astute yet relatively neglected twentieth-century Rhondda writers. An avid walker, birdwatcher, `potcher', sportsman and miner, Berry is the product of a distinctive Rhondda landscape; the formidable peaks of Pen Pych and Cefn Nant y Gwair were to be a continuing source of inspiration for him in his writing. His idiosyncratic viewpoints, of which there are many, are reflected in both his memoir and fiction. As the first sustained critical study of his work, this collection seeks a literal, physical and chronological `zooming-outwards', from the man himself to the personal and literary geographies and communities in which he was posited, to his creative legacy.
Georgia Burdett is an ABA therapist and tutor for children with autism, and an independent scholar. Sarah Morse is Senior Executive Officer at the Learned Society of Wales, and an independent scholar.
